Where was the gasoline tractor was invented?
Charter Gasoline Engine Company of Sterling, Illinois, for first successfully using gasoline as fuel. Charter's creation of a gasoline fueled engine in 1887 soon led to early gasoline traction engines before the term "tractor" was coined by others.

What happens when your oxygen sensor is not working?
If your oxygen sensor stops working the fuel (gasoline) and air mixture will be incorrect. Usually this means your fuel efficiency will decrease -- that is, the engine will burn more gasoline than necessary. It's possible however, if it begins to run too lean (not enough gasoline for the amount of air) it can damage the engine. But, this is unlikely.
Does an electric car have an engine, and if so, how does it differ from a traditional gasoline-powered engine?
An electric car does not have a traditional engine like a gasoline-powered car. Instead, it has an electric motor that runs on electricity stored in a battery. This motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to power the car, making it more environmentally friendly and efficient compared to a gasoline engine.
Internal combustion engine of a gasoline engine?

How does the electric engine of the Toyota 'Hybird' Prius work?
It works great! At speeds under 30 MPH the gasoline engine does not run until the main battery needs a charge. Battery is also charged by regeneration from the wheels.
What came first petrol engine or diesel engine?
The gasoline engine came first. The gasoline engine was invented and patented in 1823 with the first efficient gasoline engine developed in 1876. The diesel was invented in 1893 which was 70 years after the gasoline engine.
