Both are internal combustion engines that can be used to drive vehicles, generators, etc. One is fuelled by diesel, and the other one uses gas (USA), petrol (UK). Both diesel and petrol is derived from refined crude oil.

They dont, diesel engines are generally more reliable than gas engines, and alot simpler due to the fact that the entire ignition system found in gas-powered engines is deleted entirely from the diesel equation.
