These data depends strongly on the chemical composition.
For gasoline: the freezing point is from -40 0C to -60 0C
For Diesel fuel: the freezing point is from -6 0C to -20 0C

Can you make a diesel engine which works on the basic principle of petrol engine or you can say it uses diesel as a fuel but works on the principle of petrol engine?
No, a diesel is a compression firing engine and a petrol is a spark firing engine. Diesel fuel will not burn in a petrol engine with spark plugs.
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.
Will a petrol engine run on diesel?
NO!
Why compression ratio of petrol enine is 8 where as diesel engine is 22?
because a diesel engine ignites its fuel with pressure, and not with a spark like a petrol engine. that is why a petrol engine does not need as high a compression ratio as a diesel engine
What is the typical compression in a diesel engine verses a petrol engine?
2.5 liter Petrol 8-1 diesel 25-1 compression
Who has the lowest boiling point fraction petrol or diesel?
Petrol, i guess because it has a lower boiling point than diesel
What are the boiling point ranges of petrol and diesel?
Petrol has a boiling point of 38-204 degrees Centigrade, while diesel has a boiling point of >150 degrees centigrade.
What will be the state of melting point and boiling point of petrol?
Melting point it would liquefy, boiling point it would vaporize.
Which catches fire more quickly petrol or diesel?
petrol has a lower flash point and is more volatile than diesel.
Is it more dangerous to spill petrol or diesel onto a hot vehicle exhaust pipe?
Petrol, it has a lower flash point and is more flammable than diesel
What is the melting point point of petrol?
Gasoline's, also know as petrol, are heterogeneous mixtures of multiple components each having different freezing, melting and points. For example a major component of gasoline are isooctane's, with melting points in the 165.7 degrees Kelvin range.
What burns hotter gas or diesel?
Petrol first. it has a lower flash point than diesel.
How can you test if petrol or diesel is in spare fuel tank?
Take a sample out and check following; Colour - Petrol is almost clear, diesel is more yellowy Smell - Diesel and Petrol both have distinctively different smells, only way is if you get a sample of either as a reference Flash point - Petrol has a much lower flash point so will burn if ignited whereas diesel wont. If you take a very small sample and under safe and controlled circumstances try to ignite with a match if burns is petrol if not diesel Hope this helps
Why does diesel freeze quicker than petrol?
Diesel fuel and petrol/gasoline are similar; both of them are mainly mixtures of hydrocarbons. However, Diesel is considerably less volatile because it the compounds in it are of higher molecular weight; they have a higher boiling point ... and also a higher freezing point.
What is the color of petrol and diesel in petrol station?
petrol light brown, diesel light green
Is petrol is used in diesel cars?
No, diesel engine require diesel fuel. Put petrol in a diesel engine and you will destroy it.
What is diesel and petrol used for?
diesel and petrol are source which is used to generate power.
