Burning by products of fossil fuels such as diesel and petrol gives off unburnt carbon particles.
This in turn rises up in the atmosphere are react with other atmospheric gases.
Sometimes this reaction produces harmful radicals which contributes to global warming.
This can be minimized by installing better quality filters in cars and industrial plants.

What will happen if petrol is used as a fuel in diesel engine?
Petrol or gasoline in a diesel will cause internal engine damage. if petrol is used in diesel engine it may cause explosive sound with burning ....bcz high compression ratio ......
Why should you use petrol and diesel with care?
we should use petrol and diesel with care because it can cause fire and many can get injured.
Would a diesel car still drive on petrol?
Absolutely not! Petrol (gasoline) can cause catastrophic damage to a diesel automobile engine, even in very small quantities.
Will putting petrol in a diesel engine car and starting it damage the car?
Yes, putting petrol/gasoline in a diesel engine and running it will cause severe damage to the engine.
Why cant you use petrol and diesel together?
A Petrol engine use petrol that it ignites to cause an explosion in the cylinders, where the diesel engine works by compressing the mix of diesel and air, expose this to heat to make it explode but over a longer time. So a diesel engine has no spark plugs. The diesel needs pressure and heat, while petrol is explosive, will explode. So the two cannot be used together.
What happens if you put 2 liters of petrol in diesel engine with 20 liters diesel?
I would recommend not running the engine until the fuel is drained. Any amount of petrol/gasoline in a diesel can cause engine or fuel system damage.
What cause fuel to burn faster?

What will happen if you use petrol why can't you use petrol?
If you have a diesel engine and fill it with petrol, it can explode. The petrol is gasoline with added chemicals to make it explode by the ignition made by the spark plug, causing the cylinders to move, that then powers your car. The diesel engine works differently, in that it has a heat plug that ensures heat in the chamber, the reverse movement of the cylinder cause an increase in pressure until it reaches the point where combustion takes place. Diesel on a petrol engine may wreck all the electronics, valves - because it will not ignite. The reason for preferring diesel engines on a boat is just that the diesel vapor needs pressure and heat to explode, not just a tiny spark.
Would accidentally running on petrol cause a Diesel engine to run much hotter than usual?
Yes and probably blow it up
Problems with mixing a little bit of diesel in petrol engines?
Mixing a little bit will more than likely cause no problems other than poor performance until it is all gone. By little bit, I hope you mean less than a gallon. If you pumped more than that I would drain the tank.
