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.
Why petrol csnnot be used in diese engine?
The diesel engine is designed to use diesel, which reaches combustion at high (relatively to petrol) pressure and temperature. If petrol is injected into a diesel engine, then combustion will take place in a, very different than it was designed, way, which will eventually destroy the engine. But there are engines that have been designed to burn diesel or petrol. They call them bifuel engines. Old farmer tractors used to have this kind of engines.
Why petrol engines are faster than diesel engines?
Petrol engines are widely considered to be the most efficient of engines, because they are more refined than diesel. Since diesel is not completely refined, it cannot completely combust and so does not (in theory) produce as much energy per litre of fuel as a petrol engine. However, some diesel engines can be made to be much more efficient than petrol engines because they have a different type of fuel, and burn it in a different way.

How does an electric motor compare to a petrol motor?
electric produce less pollution, while up until now aren't as fast as petrol motors
Can you use kerosene in petrol engine?
No! Yes! Low performance spark ignition engines in boats and tractors commonly use kerosene as a fuel. Some need to be started on petrol then switched to kerosene.
What are the disadvantages of petrol engines?
petrol does not last forever
How petrol engines function?
WHAT ARE THE BASIC PARTS OF PETROL ENGINE? HOW DOES PETROL ENGINE WORKS?
Differences between petrol and diesel engines?
sic difference between Petrol and Diesel engines that the difference of fuel and their mixture..in diesel we only compresses the Air and sprays Diesel but in Petrol Engines we compresses both the air and Petrol together and gets burnt with the the help of spark given by the Spark plug. I must add this, also the thermodynamic cycle is so different in diesel engines rather than petroleum engines. You can fined more in Reed's series volume 12
What is spark ignition or Diesel?
spark ignition engine is also known as petrol engine. but in diesel engines the fuel is burnt due to the high compression of air.so there is no need of spark plug
What is the symbol of glowplug on a petrol engine for?
it could be for the spark plug, petrol engines dont need glow plugs, diesel engines do

What is the difference between petrol and diesel engines?
diesel engines doesn't use spark plug but uses heater plug.petrol engines produces more torque than petrol engines but petrol engines produces more acceleration than diesel engines.petrol engine is faster to be heated than diesel engine.
Is petrol a metal or not?
No petrol - from petroleum, also known as gasoline in the USA, is an organic liquid and not a metal.
Which is also known as flowing gold?
water
What powers modern automobile engines?
Usually Petrol or Diesel. A car can also be converted to run on LPG.
Why is petrol better than diesel?
Your question assumes this is true but it is not. Both fuels have their uses. Diesel engines are far superior to petrol engines when they are needed to haul or pull a heavy load. They also last longer and are more durable. Petrol engines are cheaper to build and the fuel cost less per gallon. They also have other advantages and disadvantages to a diesel engine. Neither is better they are just different and each has a use.
Do all Ford Mondeos have Zetec engines?
No, Mk1 and Mk2 petrol models had Zetec (belt driven)engines. Mk3 petrol models have Duratec (chain driven) engines. All diesel models have Duratorc engines
