Does petrol boil at a higher temperature than diesel?
No. I'm not sure of the exact numbers. Petrol will boil off of your hand, while Diesel will not. Try it if you get the chance.
What is the adventages and disadvantages of petrol engion?
first of all its engine. ADVANTAGES - petrol is cheaper than diesel so cheaper to run. petrol cars generally cost less than diesel (a few 1000). petrol engines are usually faster than diesel off the line and have a higher top speed than a diesel car with the same sized engine. DISADVANTAGES - petrol is less economical than diesel and also diesel cars are much better for over taking than petrol as it has more torque (pulling power)
How can you know petrol car and diesel car?
First off the fuel filler neck is a different size, and you cannot insert a diesel nozzle in a petrol car, secondly somewhere on the vehicle is should say diesel. Also look at the fuel gauge when it will say diesel only. Lastly read the owners manual.
How do you drain a Nissan Micra diesel tank?
oooh, put petrol in?? nice! You can either remove the tank and empty it by tipping it out of the filler neck, or you can siphen it, by doing this though you wont get all the fuel out. If you have put unleaded in, i suggest you take the tank off and make sure you get all the diesel out, although diesel isn't as harmful to a petrol system as petrol is to diesel. Make sure you fill the tank fully once you have refit the talk to dilute the remaining petrol as much as possible.
Why does my engine diesel when shutting it off?
Usually caused by a timing problem.
What to do when you put gas in a diesel motor?
Siphon it all out. Petrol (Gas) and diesel mix incredibly well so it is impossible to siphon off just the petrol, you need to remove the whole lot and then full it up with diesel.Depending on how old the car/truck is, it will respond differently to having petrol go through it. Newer direct injection/common rail/turbo diesels will not like having petrol run through them at all, and might mean replacing both the high and low pressure pumps(Diesel acts as a lubricant for these and when petrol is run through them it washes all the lube away) and the turbo etc. Older diesels might get away with running a bit of petrol through them, but again it is recommended removing all the petrol and just putting diesel in.Even putting a small amount of petrol in a diesel tank will dilute the lubricating power of diesel and may damage parts.In short, when you put petrol in a diesel, grab yourself some hose and siphon it all out!
Why diesel engine has more efficiency than petrol engine?
Diesel is a more combustible fuel than petrol, therefore less fuel is required to generate the same power as petrol. This also means that spark plugs aren't required, like in a petrol engine, since the diesel will ignite off engine compression alone. This also makes the engine arguably more reliable since there are less parts, and less things to go wrong.
Your mossberg 183D-C fires when you take safety off by itself What is this caused by?
Worn trigger
What are the advantages of a diesel van over a petrol van?
The main advantage of a diesel van over a similar petrol one is that the fuel ecomony is better with a diesel van, and in some cases the suggested length of time between servicing is greater. However the increased fuel ecomony needs to be set off against the higher cost of purchasing diesel and in many cases the higher purchase price.
How will diesel effect a petrol engine?
It won't really hurt the engine.... unless you run it long term... Unfortunately you can't burn diesel well in a petrol engine.... It will smoke alot and miss and have weak power... best thing to do if it was accidental is to top it off with petrol... and when it is half tank... top it off again.... then change the fuel filter. Another idea is to add a double dose of octane booster.... it should help with the smoking and missing
What should be done when fill petrol in diesel car?
Drain out the petrol and replace it with diesel. Empty the fuel filter bowl and dry the element. Refill with fresh diesel. Prime the injectors (if not self priming). Turm the ignition on and off a couple of times to get the glow plugs good and hot. Crank the engine with just a touch of accelerator. It will start rough then smooth out. Modern diesel engines have catalytic converters that can get damaged/compromised by running on petrol. Provided you have not run it for more than a couple of minutes there is a good chance you will get away with it.
Can a petrol engine run on diesel?
Diesel cars cannot run on petrol. If you went to a petrol gas station, your car cannot run. You will probably screw up the engine. SO NEVER EVER USE PETROL GAS FOR DIESEL ENGINED CARS!The reason being the diesel engine works at very high compression ratios and the petrol is having a lower value of FLASH point so it will burn off even before the end of the compression stroke.Yes, for just a little while until it self destructs and is ruined.
