Of course, in fact very easily.
Petrol is not the thing that gets ignited. It is actually the fumes. The actual liquid just goes with it.
A petrol engine is ignited by a spark plug, and a diesel engine is ignited by the heat produced from the air/ fuel mixture being compressed in the cylinder
A vehical that runs on petrol and diesel is impossible as they are both ignited in different ways. For exaple petrol is ignited by the spark plugs and a diesel is ignited by the shear force of the compression from the pistons. A petrol engine has a round 9:1 compression ratio and a diesel has about 20:1 but these veary from engine to engine I hope that hasn't lost you
The compressed petrol gas fuel is ignited by a spark plug thus causing the engines' power stroke.
a petrol engine uses petrol which is highly combustable, so it can be ignited by a spark. that is why petrol engines have spark plugs. diesel is an oil based fuel, and takes higher temperatures to ignite, it cannot be as easily ignited by a spark and sometimes cant at all, so diesel engines have no spark plugs and the fuel is ignited under extreme heat due to pressure.
Petrol is a liquid that gives off vapor that can be ignited. Smoking is a source of ignition. Bad combination. In 2 words, fire safety.
Because , petrol is ignited before or on reaching the dead center at low temparature. But diesel burns at high temp also that's why petrol is not sufficient to diesel engines.
Petrol can ignited easier than coal. Coal fired cars would be far too slow and also they would be alot of hassel.
a petrol engine needs to mix its air and fuel before passing it into the combustion chamber before being ignited diesel has its air mixture heated as the piston compresses it in the combustion chamber then the atomized diesel fuel is injected into the hot air and is ignited.
It won't run. Diesel is ignited by compressing the vaporized fuel much higher than a gasoline (petrol) engine. A SMALL amount will result in very poor performance.
vaporizes very easilyvapor heavier than airvapor ignites easilyonce vapor ignited burns rapidly (nearly explosive)
Because the fuel is ignited by a spark plug rather than by compression as is the case with a diesel.
The petrol mixed with air is ignited by the spark plug and explodes within the cylinder. This explosion drives the piston downward, turning the crankshaft. This in turn drives the transmission which drives the drive wheels.
