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.
Why is petrol engine RPM is greater than diesel engine?
for same power diesel engine produces more torque @ less rpm whereas petrol engine produces less torque @more rpm this difference is due to different combustion processes of diesel and petrol
Is it possible to use petrol and diesel as fuel in same engine?
No pressure requirements for diesel much greater.There were some farm tractors built in the 1940's that started on gasoline (petrol), and switched to diesel when the engine was warmed up. So it is possible.
Why is Diesel engine hard to start?
Diesel engines have a much higher compression ratio than a petrol engine, meaning that they compress a larger volume of air into, for arguments sake, the same space as a comparitive petrol. This requires more torque to turn the engine over but results in a bigger bang. Which is why they are hard to start as they need a bigger electric motor to start them and are almost imposible to clutch start
Can you use a diesel battery in place of a petrol battery?
Batteries are basically the same for petrol or deisel engines, but diesel engines require more cranking force and demand a bigger battery. So a battery from a diesel engine is ok for petrol, providing it fits.
Can a diesel gearbox be used with a petrol engine?
It will physically fit as many diesel engines share the same blocks, but the gear ratios will be unsuitable, due to the reduced effective rev range of a diesel compared to the petrol engine. In short, will probably fit, won't work

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.
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)
Is clutch fluid and brake fluid in a diesel the same thing?
No, and neither has anything to do with the engine type.
What gets hotter diesel engines or petrol engines?
all things equal both are the same..In air cooled engine the diesel is slightly hotter.
Are the gearboxes the same on the vw sharan ford galaxy and seat petrol diesel i drive a sharan 1.9 tdi se 110 1999 do I need to change the clutch?
why do you think you need to change the clutch, the gearboxes on the petrol engined cars will be differant to the diesels. You would only have to change the clutch if it was not working
