Which is more powerful petrol or diesel engine?

Normally Diesel engines produce more torque than gasoline engines but less horsepower. Gasoline engines rev up quicker and produce higher horsepower at higher rpms. Diesel engines develop their higher torque at lower rpms which allows a diesel to carry a heavier load.


What is the difference between petrol and diesel engines?

diesel engines doesn't use spark plug but uses heater plug.petrol engines produces more torque than petrol engines but petrol engines produces more acceleration than diesel engines.petrol engine is faster to be heated than diesel engine.


Are Diesel engines more economic than Gasoline engines?

They put out more torque per cubic inch, and certain ones can get better miles per gallon, but the fuel is also more expensive. Modern diesel engines are more efficient than their gasoline counterparts.


Why are diesel engines found in heavy duty equipment?

Diesel engines have far more torque or pulling power than gasoline engines. Diesel engines also last much longer than gas engines because they are built to a much higher standard of durability. The downside to a diesel is that they cost more to produce. But for heavy equipment they are necessary and a diesel engine can easily last over 1 million miles.


Does a diesel have more power than a gas motor?

A diesel has more power and torque at lower revs. Petrol engines need higher speed to develop power.


Which engine has more torque?

piston engines have more torque than jet engines..


What are some of the advantages of having a diesel truck?

Diesel trucks can pull heavy loads because of the all the torque generated. Diesel is also more efficient than gasoline. Diesel engines are durable and last longer than gasoline engines. Diesel gas is also cheaper to refine.


Why do many cars have diesel engines when petrol gives a better performance?

Some cars have diesel engines because diesel engines give more mileage and diesel is cheaper than gasoline in some countries. In the UK diesel fuel costs more than gas but, because diesel engines give much better mileage (miles per gallon), people are still happy to pay more for the diesel fuel if they run diesel vehicles. Diesel engines last much longer and have much better torque at low revs than a petrol engine.


Is diesel or petrol more efficient?

Diesel engines are more efficient. They get better mileage, produce more torque, and last much longer than a gasoline engine. They are also more expensive to build.


Do Diesel truck engines get better mpg than gasoline truck engines?

Diesel engines get better fuel economy because they do not need to burn as much fuel as a gas engine to get the same power. By design a supercharged engine will produce more power whether it be gasoline or diesel. A diesel engine has more torque at lower rpm than gas engines and therefore uses less fuel. The correct answer is YES.


Are diesel engines more polluted than steam engines?

Of an individual diesel engine and an individual steam engine of the same energy output the diesel engine would be less polluting. It is far more efficient. However, there are far more diesel engines than steam engines in the world today so overall diesel engines pollute more than steam engines.


Why all powerfull engines are of diesel you know 1 answer is its economical other option?

First off diesel fuel has a higher energy density than gasoline. Unlike a gasoline engine that uses spark plugs to ignite the fuel the diesel has no spark plugs and the fuel is ignited by heat through high compression. This is the reason a diesel is more powerful than a gas engine. High compression, and high temperature at combustion equals more power or torque as it is called. Diesels engines develop more torque or pulling power than gas engines but gas engines develop more horsepower. So simply put, if you want pulling power you need a diesel.
