What is the typical compression in a diesel engine verses a petrol engine?
2.5 liter Petrol 8-1 diesel 25-1 compression
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
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.
Where did Rudolf Diesel invent the Diesel Engine?
Augsburg, Germany The engine was known as a compression ignition engine also known as a heavy oil engine,this was actually designed by Herbert akroyd Stuart not Rudolf Diesel although this type of engine was named after Rudolf Diesel.
Why did Rudolph diesel invent the diesel engine?
He didn't. Herbert Ackroyd-Stuart in fact created and patented the first functioning compression ignition engine some 7 years before Rudolf Diesel.
What will happen if you put a couple of gallon of gas in a diesel engine?
you will have a bomb. your engine could explode from the increased compression of a diesel engine
How do we use the diesel engine now?

What are typical compression test reading for a diesel engine in good condition?

How is diesel fuel ignited in a warm diesel engine?
Compression.

What is another name for a diesel engine?
Compression ignition engine.
What is the compression ratio of a diesel engine?
The compression ratio of a Diesel ranges from 14:1 to as high as 25:1. I agree just depends on engine.
Why no spark plugs for diesel engine?
Because a diesel ignites due to the heat caused by the compression pressures in the diesel engine.
What happens when diesel fuel is placed in a gasoline tractor engine?
It won't run, that's for sure. Diesel is ignited by compression pressure, not by spark. And the compression in a gasoline engine is not sufficient to ignite the diesel.
Which engine is the most efficient in terms of compression ratios?
Diesel engine
Compression ration in diesel engine is?
Higher than a gasoline engine.
