Why Engine knocks when it gets hot?

The three most common reasons why you might get "engine knock" could be: 1) You need a higher octane gasoline for your older engine. 2) Your carburetor might be running a little too lean. 3) You might be experiencing pre-ignition in your cylinders (which can be caused by a variety of reasons). Any one of these existing conditions could possibly not show up the symptoms until the engine gets up to operating temperature.

What is the similarity of the gasoline engine and diesel engine?

They are both internal combustion engines, which are powered by the controlled explosion of fuel within combustion chambers under high pressure from the engine cylinders. The DIFFERENCE is that in a petroleum engine, this process is created by mixing fuel with air in the carburettor and the explosion is created by an electrical spark from the sparking plugs. In a diesel engine, fuel is introduced directly to the cylinders via injectors without first being mixed with air, and is ignited by sheer piston pressur alone, which compresses the fuel until it reaches flashpoint.


What does flooding engine mean?

Flooding an engine simply means that there is TOO much gas in your cylinders, and you have to wait until they drain before you press the gas, or start the vehicle. The more you try to turn the vehicle over, the more gas will be injected. So let the vehicle sit and wait or press the accelerator to the floor to increase the air in the mixture and leave it there until the engine starts.
