In 1892 the German engineer Rudolf Diesel got a patent for his invention of the technology for a compression ignition engine.
From that time onwards it was called a "Diesel Engine".
Another opinion
Actually the date was 1891 that Diesel invented his engine, which became the "diesel" engine as we know it.
However an earlier heavy fuel oil engine, called the "hot bulb" or "heavy oil" engine, was invented by Herbert Akroyd Stuart. It was working in 1886, much earlier than the Diesel's engine, but, unlike the "diesel", it had a low compression-ratio so that the fuel could not self-ignite, so it and was not actually a "compression ignition" engine.
Wrongly Rudolf Diesel was accredited with being the designer of the heavy oil fuel engine which was named after him although documented history will show that Stuart, was the true inventor of the heavy oil fuel engine.
Comment
This question is asking specifically about the inventor of the diesel engine, which is a compression-ignition engine. It is not asking about heavy fuel engines in general.

What engine did Rudolf diesel invent?
He invented the diesel engine that would lead to cars, trucks, and powerd boats.
How did Rudolf diesel invent the diesel engine?
The correct answer is, he did not invent the then known compression ignition engine, which was named after him,DIESEL engine,he was accredited wrongly with the invention of the C,I,engine,the true inventor was Herbert akroyd Stuart and the date he had a working heavy oil [we now know as diesel] engine was 1886 some four to five years before Rudolf Diesel.
Did Rudolf Diesel invent the diesel engine?
yes he did The correct answer is no he did not.This is often a misconception as Rudolf Diesel has been accredited by many[wrongly] as the inventor of the diesel engine,the correct answer is,Herbert akroyd Stuart invented the diesel engine,in 1886 he designed and built a working diesel engine,almost four years before Rudolf Diesel had the notion.Stuart together with the Hornsby company of England had the diesel engine in manufacturing and for sale on the open market in 1891.
Was diesel invented by rodolf diesel?
Rudolf Diesel. Yes he invented the engine. The fuel came later and was named after him but he didnt invent diesel fuel. His wife insisted he name the engine after himself, he didnt want to.

Who was Rudolf Diesel and why did he invent the diesel engine?
Rudolf Diesel was a German engineer and inventor. He was trying to find a way to improve the internal combustion engine.In 1892 he invented the first compression ignition engine, which ran on a powder made of finely ground coal dust. It was new technology - mainly because it did not require a spark ignition coil nor any spark plugs - and he got a patent for it.From that time onwards it became known as the "Diesel Engine".For more information see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.
