Diesels "can" have detonation. They have low *** compression motors and desiel so it's very hard. Think of it as the engine being the turbo's bitch.

I alway's thought deisels had high compression. Thats the whole concept of how the fuel gets ignited in the combustion chamber of a diesel engine.

diesels vary in compression ratio from 17:1 to 22:1 commonly and probably higher
