Two main differences:
The fuel intake system is different and the firing mechanism is different.
First, Petrol engines fire using spark plugs instead of heat and compression, and they might not get the diesel fuel to ignite fully if the compression is too low.
Second, Diesel fuel has different viscosity, different volatility, different cleanliness standards, and different air/fuel ratios, so the fuel injection system has to have different design features.
What else can I help you with?
Can petrol engine oil be used for a diesel engine?
No it cannot. Petrol and Diesel are different.
Is petrol is used in diesel cars?
No, diesel engine require diesel fuel. Put petrol in a diesel engine and you will destroy it.
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.
Why cant petrol be used in diesel engine?
Because one has a petrol engine and the other has a diesel engine. Petrol/gasoline does not ignite the same way as diesel. It also does not have the lubrication qualities that diesel has. Gas in a diesel engine will damage the fuel system if the diesel very quickly.
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 ......
When petrol is mixed with a diesel engine?
When petrol is mixed with diesel engine the engine will not start due to the following reasons;Fuel in diesel must be compressed at 400o and above to approach compression power while petrol start at 150oPetrol have lower density than that used in diesel enginePetrol use spark ignition lather pressure ignitionPetrol have different octane number than that used in diesel enginePetrol fuel cannot produce much power as that produced in diesel engine with real diesel fuel.Will not accomplish diesel engine phases
What happens if petrol is used in diesel engine and vice versa?
If gasoline is used in a diesel it will damage the engine. If diesel is used in a gasoline engine it will do no real damage as the engine will not run.
Can a petrol electric fuel be used for diesel?
I don't know what a 'petrol electric fuel' might be. You certainly can't use petrol in a diesel engine.
Can petrol oil be used in a diesel van engine?
No do not try that.
Which has a highest starting ignition between petrol n diesel?
Diesel has highest ignition temperature.. So only diesel cant be used in petrol engine
Why petrol csnnot be used in diese engine?
The diesel engine is designed to use diesel, which reaches combustion at high (relatively to petrol) pressure and temperature. If petrol is injected into a diesel engine, then combustion will take place in a, very different than it was designed, way, which will eventually destroy the engine. But there are engines that have been designed to burn diesel or petrol. They call them bifuel engines. Old farmer tractors used to have this kind of engines.
Where 2 stroke diesel and petrol engine used?
two stroke diesel engine is used in cargo ships as cross head type engines, two stroke petrol engines used in two wheelers.
