The compression ratio is high enough to combust the diesel without the aid of sparkplugs
Today's diesel engines do not use spark plugs.Today's diesel engines do not use spark plugs.
Diesel does not require a spark to combust.

No, spark plugs do not cause ignition in diesels. The fuel compression causes ignition
There are basically two types of spark ignition engine. They are the diesel spark engines and the petrol spark engines.
Nothing. That is, literally nothing. It doesn't work. Diesel engines don't use spark plugs, because they don't need them.
No diesel engines use the "heat of compression" to cause fuel to ignite not electrical ignition.
diesel engines do not have spark plugs. they fire on compression. so there is no gap.
Yes, all gasoline engines must have spark plugs. Only diesel engines do not require spark plugs.
NO, fuel is ignited by compression.
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.
