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.
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
How can you convert petrol engine in into diesel engine?
You can convert a petrol engine into a diesel engine by changing the fuel injectors. The fuel filters will also need to be changed.
Will a petrol engine run on diesel?
NO!
How do you set an engine in its dead center position?
Top dead center on an engine is defined as when the piston is farthest from the crankshaft. Bottom dead center is when the piston is closest to the crankshaft on the engine.
What is the purpose of a crankshaft in a diesel engine?

How petrol engines function?

What is function of a piston in a diesel engine?
The piston has the same function whether diesel or petrol. The piston is forced down the cylinder when the petrol mixture ignites and expands. That in turn presses on the connecting rod which in turn pushes on the crankshaft. The crankshaft changes the up and down movement of the piston into a rotational movement which makes the car go.
What is the purpose of the crank shaft?
The crankshaft is an internal component of the engine that converts an up and down movement of the pistons to a rotational movement of the the crankshaft. This is provided to the powertrain for movement. The bottom of the pistons are attached to the crankshaft with main bearings.
Does an November 2005 Zafira 2.2 Petrol have a belt or timing chain?
