Diesel fuel is more unrefined oil than gas and needs high compression to ignite. Gasoline engines use more volitile fuel that must be ignited with a spark from the spark plug at a specific time to fire the engine. Diesels don't have spark plugs or ignition systems just starter motor fuel pump/injectors and glow plugs to heat the air/fuel mixture to initially get the engine going
