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 compression ratio of petrol enine is 8 where as diesel engine is 22?
because a diesel engine ignites its fuel with pressure, and not with a spark like a petrol engine. that is why a petrol engine does not need as high a compression ratio as a diesel engine
How can you convert petrol engine in into diesel engine?
You can convert a petrol engine into a diesel engine by changing the fuel injectors. The fuel filters will also need to be changed.
Will a petrol engine run on diesel?
NO!
What is the typical compression in a diesel engine verses a petrol engine?
2.5 liter Petrol 8-1 diesel 25-1 compression
What happens if you accidentally put in petrol instead of diesel?

Petrol in a diesel engine will destroy the engine.
Is petrol is used in diesel cars?
No, diesel engine require diesel fuel. Put petrol in a diesel engine and you will destroy it.
Can a petrol engine be converted to a diesel engine?
No, you cannot convert a petrol to burn diesel.

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 petrol or gasoline engine will not run on diesel fuel.
What will happen if diesel filled in petrol engine?
the engine will not run because of three reasons. 1. Diesel uses more compression than the petrol engine does 2. the diesel engines fuel to air mixture is 1:1 and petrol isn't 3. diesel engines use straight compression or glow plugs instead of spark plugs
Why cant petrol be used in diesel engine?
Because one has a petrol engine and the other has a diesel engine. Petrol/gasoline does not ignite the same way as diesel. It also does not have the lubrication qualities that diesel has. Gas in a diesel engine will damage the fuel system if the diesel very quickly.

What happens when you put petrol in a Volvo diesel engine?
