Can you make a diesel engine which works on the basic principle of petrol engine or you can say it uses diesel as a fuel but works on the principle of petrol engine?
No, a diesel is a compression firing engine and a petrol is a spark firing engine. Diesel fuel will not burn in a petrol engine with spark plugs.
Why does braking use petrol?
It doesn't. The engine uses petrol any time it is running, but not more when braking.
What is the difference in bhp between petrol and diesel engines?
Both our internal combustion engines but the main difference is that a petrol engine uses spark plugs to ignite the fuel but a diesel engine has no spark plugs but instead uses compression to ignite the fuel. A diesel engine is also built much stronger than a gasoline/petrol engine. Diesel engines get better fuel mileage, last longer, and have much more torque or pulling power than a petrol engine. The only disadvantage to a diesel is the fact that it is more costly to build than a gasoline engine.
How petrol engines function?
WHAT ARE THE BASIC PARTS OF PETROL ENGINE? HOW DOES PETROL ENGINE WORKS?
What does the car term 6g mean?
means the car is a 6 cylinder engine that uses petrol or gasoline
What are the defferences between dessel and petrol engine?
Petrol & Gas engines are spark ignited engines where as diesel engines are compression ignited engines. Petrol engines works with explosion of fuel air mixture due to spark from spark plug inside the cylinder. Diesel engines works with combustion of fuel air mixture due to compression, compressed mixture attains a very high temperature which exceeds the flash point of diesel and starts burning inside the cylinder and the hot gases after burning of fuel misture exerts force on piston which makes the diesel engines work. Diesel engines are highly efficient than petrol engines.
What engine uses a spark plug to ignite a compressed air-gas mixture?
A spark ignition engine, like your average gasoline/petrol burning car engine.
What is the difference between Cars motor and Cars engine?
a motor normally uses electricity and an engine usees petrol or diesel... correct if wrong please
What is the difference between petrol car and disel car?
The petrol one uses petrol, and, wait for it, the diesel one uses diesel!
What happen when petrol fuel is use in diesel engine?
Petrol in a diesel engine will destroy the engine.
Can you use petrol instead of kerosene in a kerosene run generator?
No, the petrol has a higher ignition flash point than that of kerosene. It would be like using petrol in a diesel engine. The engine would run extremely hot and the engine could be destroyed. As diesel uses compression to burn the fuel petrol needs a spark. The petrol under higher compression will pre ignite and cause detonation in the piston cylinders. This could destroy the pistons, cylinder walls or the cylinder head of the engine.
Is the petrol engine is the otto engine?
A petrol (gasoline) engine can be an otto cycle engine or it may not be. Click the link.
