gearbox will fit, but the bellhousing may need to be swapped if you have both it is only 4 bolts to swith a a bell housing from one gear box to another

What engine size does a smart car have?
600cc petrol or 800cc diesel
What to do if you put petrol into a diesel car?
I very recently did this so have done a lot of research - my car is still outside waiting for me to put it right. It all seems to depend on who you ask. Many people will tell you that you need to drain the whole system etc etc. However, I have asked a few mechanics and it all depends upon how much petrol you have added. I am told that in cold countries drivers add petrol to diesel to prevent waxing - as long as it is less than 10% petrol to diesel it is OK. I put 7 litres of petrol in a diesel engine. The AA told me I had to have it drained completely, flushed and bled. I could not afford all this so topped it up with diesel and drove it home (about 2 K). Local mechanics told me to dilute it as much as pos and drive it but keep diluting it. I am not taking any chances. i am going to syphon off as much of the petrol and diesel mix as possible and fill it with pure diesel thereby avoiding the very large garage fees involved in drainage, flushing and bleeding. If people add a 10% mix i am sure I can get it down to less than this and it will be OK. I am sorry this is not a more informed answer but after asking a lot of people it is the best I can come up with. Best of luck.
What is the weight of a smart car?
A fortwo petrol driven model is about 795 kilograms. If diesel, it reaches 830 kg. These without driver and full tank.
Main advantages and disadvantages between compression ignition and spark ignition engines?
A spark ignition engine is a gasoline engine. A compression ignition is a diesel engine.basic difference between compression and spark ignition engine is ,compression ignition is a diesel engine. spark ignition is a gasoline engine.diesel engines compress the fuel to a point where the fuel explodes, thus giving ignitiongasoline does not compress to explosion, therefore it needs need a spark to ignite the fuelspark ign. is gasoline. comp. ign. is diesel.A compression ignition engine is typically a diesel. It compresses air so much that the heat from the compression is enough to cause the fuel to ignited once injected. A spark ignition engine is your average gasoline-burning car engine. It uses a spark plug to ignite the air/fuel mixture instead of relying on compretssion ignition.A compression ignition engine uses very high compression of the air to heat it self up and the fuel is injected into the cylinder which self ignites (a diesel engine is a compression ignition engine).A spark ignition engine uses a lower compression ratio and requires the use of a spark to ignite the fuel (a petrol engine is a spark ignition engine).Because the oils used for a diesel have a higher calorific value, they have a better fuel economy, They also do not need extra energy usage to keep the engine running, unlike the energy that is lost to power the spark plugs from the generator/alternator which is taken from the useful energy produced by the engine.
What is the mpg of a 2007 Smart Fortwo?
MPG for a smart fortwo (coupe or cabriolet) varies depending on the model year and how you drive. All 450 imported and converted smart fortwos run on regular 87 octane petrol (gas) only -- in the U.S. No diesel version is available in the U.S. as of this writing nor can a diesel smart fortwo be imported for legal use on U.S. roadways. '450' refers to the generation of fortwos model years 2000 through 2007. 2008 is the '451.' Miles per gallon for the 450 range from 40 to 55 depending on your terrain and driving style. Model years 2000 through 2007 come with the Mercedes-Benz (MB) engine. Model years 2005 and 2006 have a turbo-charged MB engine. The 2008 smart fortwo, introduced in the U.S. in 2008 through Penske Auto Group, requires premium petrol and is equipped with a non-turbo-charged Mitsubishi engine. The EPA rates its MPG around 35.
How do you change a Nissan laurel from diesel to petrol?
Begin by changing the complete engine, fuel delivery/management system and probably the gearbox as well. Basically don't bother - change the car.
Can a diesel gearbox be used with a petrol engine?
It will physically fit as many diesel engines share the same blocks, but the gear ratios will be unsuitable, due to the reduced effective rev range of a diesel compared to the petrol engine. In short, will probably fit, won't work
Can a petrol gearbox be used with a diesel engine?

What happen when petrol fuel is use in diesel engine?
Petrol in a diesel engine will destroy the engine.
Is petrol is used in diesel cars?
No, diesel engine require diesel fuel. Put petrol in a diesel engine and you will destroy it.
Can a petrol engine be converted to a diesel engine?
No, you cannot convert a petrol to burn diesel.
Is the 1995 Volkswagen transporter 2.5 petrol gearbox the same as 1999 petrol 2.5?
Simple answer is no. The way that diesel engines produce and use power is totally different to the way petrol engines produce power, the diesels power is at the bottom of the rev range as opposed to the petrol engines being at the top of the rev range. Becuse of this diesel engine gearboxes use very long gear ratios and petrol engine gearboxes use very short ratios. If you put a diesel engine onto a petrol gearbox the effect would be that in fifth gear at max revs you'll be travelling at 40mph.
Why not use petrol in diesel engine?
If you use Petrol or Gasoline in a Diesel engine you will destroy that engine. That is why you do not use it.
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.
Is it possible to use diesel in petrol engine?
No. A petrol or gasoline engine will not run on diesel fuel.
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.
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
