What is the difference between inlet valve timing in a diesel engine and a petrol engine?

In diesel engine ,air alone without any fuel is drawn by the falling piston during inlet stroke. In petrol engine, the mixture of air and fuel is drawn in by the falling piston during inlet stroke.
There is no difference in the act of actually setting the timing. Inlet valves open slightly before the piston reaches top dead centre, by how much depends on the manufacturers specifications.

What is the major difference between a petrol car and a diesel one?
The primary difference between a petrol car and diesel car is the consumption rate - diesel and petrol are refined from mineral oil using differing methods. The result is diesel engines having a lower fuel consumption rate than their petrol counterparts when installed in a vehicle of similar mass. CO2 emissions are also lower in a diesel engine than they are in a petrol engine.

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.
