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
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 are the defferences between dessel and petrol engine?
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.
Can a petrol engine be converted to a diesel engine?
No, you cannot convert a petrol to burn diesel.
Can you convert a petrol jaguar engine to a diesel engine car?
No, you cannot convert a gasoline engine to a diesel engine.
How can you change your diesel engine for petrol?
That is impossible. You cannot convert a diesel to run on petrol or vice versa.
Can you convert petrol engine of your bike to diesel?
yes
Is it possible to convert a 1997 Chevrolet cheyennepick-up 1500 2.7 ltr petrol engine to gas or diesel fuel -Ireland?
You cannot convert a diesel to gas or a gas to diesel. They are made differently. You can change engines but not convert an engine.
What happen when petrol fuel is use in diesel engine?
Petrol in a diesel engine will destroy the engine.
Why you cannot convert a petrol engine into a diesel engine?
Diesel engines fire on compression rather than spark. This requires that a diesel engine be made much stronger than a petrol engine. All internal components are made to much stronger specifications. A petrol engine could not handle the higher compression and would self destruct.
Is petrol is used in diesel cars?
No, diesel engine require diesel fuel. Put petrol in a diesel engine and you will destroy it.
Why not use petrol in diesel engine?
If you use Petrol or Gasoline in a Diesel engine you will destroy that engine. That is why you do not use it.
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.
Is it possible to use diesel in petrol engine?
No. A petrol or gasoline engine will not run on diesel fuel.
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.
