Answer

Diesel engines knock because of combustion of fuel that has already evaporated when combustion starts. The effects of engine knocking range from inconsequential to completely destructive. Engine knocks can be reduced through indirect injection, pre-injection, injection timing, compression ratio and exhausting gas recirculation.
