Diesel engine parts are more rugged than gasoline engines, so the two should never be used together or mixed. They are made separately for separate purposes for a reason.

Are diesel engine parts compatible with a GM V 8 350 motor?

This motor is not compatible with diesel engine parts. As this motor is generally used in smaller GM cars that are a little more than lightweight. You would need a motor for a GM truck to match with diesel parts.


What happens when you put regular unleaded gasoline in a diesel engine?

Diesel fuel contains a wax like substance wich lubricates the diesel injection pump and the fuel injectors. Gasoline dos not contain anything like that needed to lubricate those parts. So the pump will sieze up and the engine will fail. A diesel engine rebuild can cost thousands.


Why diesel engine is more better than petrol engine?

because diesel engine has the maximum efficiency than petrol engine. also diesel engine can handle more load than petrol,as we can see in case in case of heavy vehicles. --- Fuel Savings result because the Air to Fuel ratio is MUCH more "lean" (more air) in a Diesel than in a gasoline/petrol engine. At idle, the optimal mixture for gasoline is 14.7 parts of AIR to one part FUEL. Compare that to a Diesel engine, where the ratio is 50:1, and you'll note a significant savings. --- Other Advantages: Diesel designed his engine to run on virtually any available fuel (e.g.; vegetable oil) for times of short supply of petrol/gasoline. The diesel engine has higher TORQUE, meaning that it can haul larger loads than a gas/petrol engine. There is no Ignition Circuit to fail on a diesel engine. The ignition is achieved by compression and a "glow plug" which remains heated between piston cycles. ---


Will diesel oil damage oil rings and seals on a petrol motor?

You mean "motor oil for diesel engines," rather than "diesel oil the fuel." And the answer is simple: No. It will not. All the popular and not-so-popular brands of diesel engine oil sold in the US carry two ratings: a "diesel engine rating" and a "gasoline engine rating." They do this because most trucking companies also own some gasoline engine vehicles, like pickup trucks for driving to the truck dealership on parts runs, and an oil rated for both gas and diesel engines allows them to put the same oil in all their vehicles.

Parts of petrol engine missing in diesel engine?

Carburettors and spark plugs.


What are the basic different between the petrol and diesel engine?

Well gasoline engines have a spark plug that ignites the gasoline as it is injected into the engine. Diesel engines have no spark plugs because the high compression ignites the fuel as it is injected. Because it releases higher energy density, diesels get better fuel economy.The main difference between a diesel and a gasoline (petrol) engine are the way the fuel is ignited. In a gasoline engine, a fuel/air mixture is introduced into the cylinder either through a carburetor or fuel injection system, where it is then compressed and ignited with a spark. In a diesel engine, air is compressed in the cylinder which heats it to about 1000 degrees F (550 degrees C), then fuel is injected under high pressure and ignited by the superheated air. To accomplish this, diesel engines also have higher compression ratios than gasoline engines.
