The temperature of the compressed air in a diesel engine

[jamesd2008]

Hi,

Could someone tell me the rough temperature the air gets to under compression, just prior to the diesel being injected and auto igniting?

thanks in advance

Ok thanks.

Suppose what I'm really asking is what sort of temperatures does diesel ignite?
