Is a gasoline-diesel fuel a good mixture to get more power from a diesel engine?
not at all. that will cause engine damage. gasoline burns at a much lower temperature than diesel fuel so you will get pre ignition. diesel fuel has more useable power in than gasoline. gasoline is rated in octane and diesel fuel is rated in cetane. with diesel fuel the higher the cetane the faster the fuel will burn for a more complete combustion. so if you want more power from a diesel a place to start is a higher cetane diesel fuel. but things like bigger trubos, vgt turbos, injectors, intercoolers have a much bigger effect on power than fuel
Which is more viscous diesel or petrol?
Diesel has a much higher viscosity than petrol (gasoline). It is less refined and contains more oil to lubricate and cool the combustion chamber in a diesel engine.
What has more fuel energy petrol or diesel?
Gasoline has more energy per lb than Diesel.
Does it cost more to produce diesel fuel than regular gasoline?
I'm going to go with "No" as gasoline requires more refining than diesel does.
Is a fuel filter more critical n a diesel engine or gasoline?
Diesel contains more impurities compared to gasolene.Therefore fuel filter is more critical in a diesel engine
Can a jeep cheeroke run on vegetable oil?
No way. It has an internal combustion gasoline engine and runs on gasoline. Some Flex Fuel vehicles can run on a mix of 85% Ethanol and 15% gasoline. But no gasoline vehicle can run on 100% vegetable oil. A diesel on the other hand can run on vegetable oil. Vegetable oil can be used as diesel fuel just as it is, without being converted to biodiesel. The downside is that straight vegetable oil (SVO) is much more viscous (thicker) than conventional diesel fuel or biodiesel, and it doesn't burn the same in the engine -- many studies have found that it can damage engines.
Are diesel automobiles more fuel efficient than ethanol gasoline automobiles?
yes
What is the means of hybrid cars?
So-called "hybrid" cars can be powered by more than one type of fuel. i.e. gasoline/electric - gasoline/diesel - etc. So-called "hybrid" cars can be powered by more than one type of fuel. i.e. gasoline/electric - gasoline/diesel - etc.
Which gives more mileage petrol or diesel?
Diesel engines normally get better fuel economy than gasoline engines.
What is the difference in how a normal car engine and a diesel car engine in how they work?
diesel engines compress the fuel mixture much more than gasoline engines, diesel engines are always fuel injected while gasoline engines have the option of being carbureted, diesel engines usually cost more, diesels produce more power than a comparable gasoline engine, diesel engines have no distributor or spark system, and instead use glow plugs to ignite fuel, and diesel engines can be converted to run on vegetable oil with few modifications.
Do diesel cars generally cost more than gasoline engine cars?
Diesel cars do tend to cost more in general than gasoline engine cars. The claim on this is that it is more expensive to create and manufacture these vehicles, and due the fact that diesel vehicles are more fuel efficient.
Why does diesel cost more than gasoline?
Diesel costs more then gasoline because it uses more petroleum to make it. Also, diesel costs more then gasoline because it has about 20% more energy then the same amount of gasoline.
