I will explain on a 1 cylinder engine. This makes it easier to under stand. Inside the cylinder is a piston that moves up and down tight to the side walls of the cylinder. Connected to the bottom of the piston is a rod. The rod connects to a shaft called a crankshaft at the bottom of the engine. The crankshaft is connected to the transmission. When the piston is moved downward it turns the crankshaft, also fuel is either pulled in through a carbuerator (cars pre-1986) or pumped in through electronic fuel injection system (callel EFI) above the piston. The crankshaft is still turning and momentum pushes thepiston back up. The fuel and air above the piston are compressed (at least 120psi for gasoline, 500psi for diesel I will explain later.) In a gasoline engine the compressed mixture is ignited by a spark plug located at the top of the cylinder, forcing the piston down and continuing the cycle. In a diesel engine the diesel/air mix is compressed more to create heat. The heat becomes so intense that it ignites and forces the piston downward.

Internal combustion engine of a gasoline engine?
a gasoline engine is an Internal combustion engine
What is similar to a gasoline engine except it has no spark plugs?
A diesel engine has the same internal components and works off of compression ignition, not spark ignition.
What came first petrol engine or diesel engine?
The gasoline engine came first. The gasoline engine was invented and patented in 1823 with the first efficient gasoline engine developed in 1876. The diesel was invented in 1893 which was 70 years after the gasoline engine.
What will happen if premium gasoline is put into a diesel engine?
If you're asking what will happen if you put gasoline in a diesel engine, the engine will be destroyed if you run it on gasoline.
What are the differences of internal combustion and gasoline engine?
and internal combustion engine and a gasoline engine are the same thing.
How is maintenance different for a gasoline and diesel cars?
The main reason is that the way Diesel and Gasoline engines works is complete different, the gasoline needs a spark to explode and generate movement. The diesel explodes with pressure, the pressure of the fuel on the cylinder is what makes the explosion, so in a diesel engine you don't need an electric system to generate a spark. The compression in a diesel engine is a lot higher that a gasoline engine. All diesel engines have diesel injectors, gasoline engine works with injectors and carburators. Because of all this differences and more the maintanence is different, oil change periods, air filters, fuel system, electric system, belts, valves.........
What is a gasoline engine?
That's an engine that burns gasoline, to produce motion. Many car engines use gasoline as fuel.
Types of engine according to fuel used?
all engine using gasoline (whether regular or premium) as fuel is called gasoline engine. motorcycle engine. generetors, buses. are example of gasoline engine
Can you use diesel oil in gasoline engine?
NO, do not use diesel oil and a gasoline engine.
What does pressure have to do with how a car engine works?
High pressure is created by an exploding gasoline-air mixture. This pressure pushes the cylinders of the engine down, doing work that moves the car.
Which engine is more efficient diesel engine or gasoline engine?
Diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline engines.
