Napthalene has been used to effect octane & improve milage but is not a practical rplpacement even though highly combustible. It is highly toxic with carcinogenic properties.
The Ferrari 458 is a petrol-powered sports car. It features a naturally aspirated 4.5-liter V8 engine, which delivers high performance and a thrilling driving experience. Diesel engines are not used in Ferrari's lineup, as the brand focuses on high-performance gasoline engines.
Lead was added to petrol as an anti-knock agent to improve engine performance. It prevented engine knocking or pinging, which is a metallic pinging noise that can occur in an engine when fuel ignites unevenly. Lead was phased out of petrol due to its harmful effects on human health and the environment.
petrol does not last forever
WHAT ARE THE BASIC PARTS OF PETROL ENGINE? HOW DOES PETROL ENGINE WORKS?
No! Yes! Low performance spark ignition engines in boats and tractors commonly use kerosene as a fuel. Some need to be started on petrol then switched to kerosene.
Yes, a 15W-40 oil can be used in both petrol and diesel engines, as it is a multi-grade oil that meets the viscosity requirements for various engine types. However, it's important to check the manufacturer's specifications to ensure compatibility, as some petrol engines may require specific oil formulations. Additionally, diesel engine oils often contain additives that may not be necessary or suitable for petrol engines, so using a product specifically designed for the engine type is generally recommended for optimal performance.
it could be for the spark plug, petrol engines dont need glow plugs, diesel engines do
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.
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.
Different types of petrol include aviation fuels such as Jet A and Jet A-1, which are used in commercial jet engines, and Avgas (aviation gasoline), typically used in smaller aircraft. Additionally, there are specialized fuels like 100LL (low lead) Avgas, which is designed for high-performance piston engines. Each type of fuel is formulated to meet specific performance and safety standards for its intended use in aviation. Other types of petrol, like automotive gasoline, are formulated differently to meet the requirements of car engines.
No, Mk1 and Mk2 petrol models had Zetec (belt driven)engines. Mk3 petrol models have Duratec (chain driven) engines. All diesel models have Duratorc engines
petrol ( or gas to the Americans) powers the combustion engines of vehicles.
