Petrol came first, as it was more obvious as a use of power than diesel because it was flammable and already in liquid form, yet diesel was discovered as a use of power for engines later. I would say petrol because when they invented cars they made petrol cars and from the chemicals etc. in petrol they invented diesel
Diesel fuel is designed for diesel engines, which have a different combustion process than petrol engines. Using diesel fuel in a petrol car can damage the engine components, as diesel fuel may not burn efficiently in a petrol engine, leading to poor performance and potential engine damage. Additionally, modern petrol cars are equipped with fuel systems designed specifically for petrol fuel, not diesel.
In the United States diesel is not cheaper than petrol or gasoline, it is higher.
No, diesel is heavier.
The burning temperature of diesel is higher than that of petrol. Diesel ignites at a higher temperature compared to petrol.
Petrol is and bit more vicous and that diesel is a lot darker than petrol. Petrol burns quicker when set alight, however diesel burns more brightly!
because petrol is easer to burn than diesel
The difference is that diesel is more oily than petrol, and is cheaper to produce.
Depends on the car, if a car has petrol and diesel version than yes
first of all its engine. ADVANTAGES - petrol is cheaper than diesel so cheaper to run. petrol cars generally cost less than diesel (a few 1000). petrol engines are usually faster than diesel off the line and have a higher top speed than a diesel car with the same sized engine. DISADVANTAGES - petrol is less economical than diesel and also diesel cars are much better for over taking than petrol as it has more torque (pulling power)
diesel is usually more expensive but diesel cars usually have more mpg than petrol cars
Produce more petrol than diesel. :P
