The first gas engine was invented in 1860 by Jean-Joseph-Etienne Lenoir. I don't know if this helps.
The gasoline engine came first. The gasoline engine was invented and patented in 1823 with the first efficient gasoline engine developed in 1876. The diesel was invented in 1893 which was 70 years after the gasoline engine.

Diesel engines were developed after gasoline engines. The first diesel engine was invented by Rudolf Diesel in 1897, while the first gasoline engine was developed by Nikolaus Otto in 1876. Therefore, gasoline technology predates diesel technology by about two decades.

Charter Gasoline Engine Company of Sterling, Illinois, for first successfully using gasoline as fuel. Charter's creation of a gasoline fueled engine in 1887 soon led to early gasoline traction engines before the term "tractor" was coined by others. Charter adapted its engine to a Rumley steam-traction-engine chassis, and in 1889 produced six of the machines to become one of the first working gasoline traction engines.
The first four-stroke gasoline internal combustion engine was invented by German engineer Nikolaus August Otto in 1876. Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach mounted an internal combustion engine onto a bicycle, creating the first motorcycle in 1885, and in 1887 they manufactured their first car. In the meantime, Karl Benz produced his first car with an internal combustion engine in 1886.
