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

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.


Why is there 2 batteries on a 2005 F250?

Diesel engines need more cranking power than what one battery provides.Diesel engines need more cranking power than what one battery provides.


Is a gasoline-diesel fuel a good mixture to get more power from a diesel engine?

not at all. that will cause engine damage. gasoline burns at a much lower temperature than diesel fuel so you will get pre ignition. diesel fuel has more useable power in than gasoline. gasoline is rated in octane and diesel fuel is rated in cetane. with diesel fuel the higher the cetane the faster the fuel will burn for a more complete combustion. so if you want more power from a diesel a place to start is a higher cetane diesel fuel. but things like bigger trubos, vgt turbos, injectors, intercoolers have a much bigger effect on power than fuel


What is a hybrid vehicle?

its a car that runs with gas and an electric engine or diesel and an electric engine A hybrid vehical is an automobile with more than one power source, such as an electric motor and internal combustion.


Is there more power in petrol engine than diesel engine?

There is more energy in one gallon of diesel than one gallon of gasoline. To elaborate, the word "petrol" is defined in different ways in different places..... but if you have two internal combustion engines of the same displacement the diesel will produce more power than the gasoline engine, especially in 'torque' measurement


Why does a petrol engine have more power than a diesel engine?

A petrol engine revs higher, which allows it to burn more fuel and output more power.


What is heavier diesel or motor oil?

Diesel fuel is generally lighter than motor oil. Diesel typically has a density of around 0.85 to 0.87 grams per cubic centimeter, while motor oil can range from 0.85 to 0.95 grams per cubic centimeter, depending on its formulation and viscosity. Therefore, while there can be some overlap, motor oil is often heavier than diesel.


What is the effect of induction motor on power factor?

An induction motor has a lagging power factor. Motors of more than about 2 HP are designed to have a power factor of 0.85 or higher.


Why diesel engine generates more power than a petrol engine?

Higher compression ratio, therefore it develops far more torque which equates to pulling power.


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.


Does a gasoline engine have more power than a diesel engine?

Diesel engines have more power in the form of torque. Torque is basically the force exerted on the road by the tires which means you can haul more weight with a diesel engine. But it won't be "fast" in most cases. If speed is what floats your boat I'd say go with a gasoline engine.


How does a diesel engine differ from a gasoline engine?

A diesel engine fires from compression and not from a spark. A diesel engine is also built much stronger than a gasoline engine. Diesel engines normally have less horsepower than a gasoline engine but have much more torc, or pulling power.
