Yes, petrol engines generally produce more carbon monoxide (CO) than diesel engines. This is primarily due to the combustion process; petrol engines often operate at lower temperatures and can produce incomplete combustion, leading to higher CO emissions. In contrast, diesel engines operate at higher temperatures and pressures, which typically results in more complete combustion and lower CO emissions. However, diesel engines tend to emit higher levels of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.

Why do car engines produce more carbon monoxide when they are stationary?

They don't produce more. It is the fact that they are sitting there doing nothing and using petrol for no reason is why it is bad.


Which is more powerful petrol or diesel engine?

Normally Diesel engines produce more torque than gasoline engines but less horsepower. Gasoline engines rev up quicker and produce higher horsepower at higher rpms. Diesel engines develop their higher torque at lower rpms which allows a diesel to carry a heavier load.


Why petrol engines are faster than diesel engines?

Petrol engines are widely considered to be the most efficient of engines, because they are more refined than diesel. Since diesel is not completely refined, it cannot completely combust and so does not (in theory) produce as much energy per litre of fuel as a petrol engine. However, some diesel engines can be made to be much more efficient than petrol engines because they have a different type of fuel, and burn it in a different way.

What is the difference between petrol and diesel engines?

diesel engines doesn't use spark plug but uses heater plug.petrol engines produces more torque than petrol engines but petrol engines produces more acceleration than diesel engines.petrol engine is faster to be heated than diesel engine.


Is the petrol engine is costly thab diesel engine?

No, diesel engines cost more to build than petrol engines. They are built much heavier.


Is diesel or petrol more efficient?

Diesel engines are more efficient. They get better mileage, produce more torque, and last much longer than a gasoline engine. They are also more expensive to build.


Which one having high torque petrol or diesel engines?

Diesel engines have much more torque at low rpm.


Which gives more mileage petrol or diesel?

Diesel engines normally get better fuel economy than gasoline engines.


Why petrol engine is not used for large vehicles?

gasoline/petrol engines are considered to be much less reliable than a diesel engine. large rigs we see on the road today often have over a million miles on them. diesel is efficient and clean, and produces more potential energy. diesel engines also produce much more torque making it easier to tow or move things.


Can you use a diesel battery in place of a petrol battery?

Batteries are basically the same for petrol or deisel engines, but diesel engines require more cranking force and demand a bigger battery. So a battery from a diesel engine is ok for petrol, providing it fits.


What is the different between petrol and diesel?

The difference is that diesel is more oily than petrol, and is cheaper to produce.


Differences between petrol and diesel engines?

sic difference between Petrol and Diesel engines that the difference of fuel and their mixture..in diesel we only compresses the Air and sprays Diesel but in Petrol Engines we compresses both the air and Petrol together and gets burnt with the the help of spark given by the Spark plug. I must add this, also the thermodynamic cycle is so different in diesel engines rather than petroleum engines. You can fined more in Reed's series volume 12
