Fuel is any material that is burned or altered to obtain energy and to heat or to move objects. Petrol, or gasoline as us Yankees call it in the good old USA, is one type of those fuels.

What is the difference in bhp between petrol and diesel engines?

Both our internal combustion engines but the main difference is that a petrol engine uses spark plugs to ignite the fuel but a diesel engine has no spark plugs but instead uses compression to ignite the fuel. A diesel engine is also built much stronger than a gasoline/petrol engine. Diesel engines get better fuel mileage, last longer, and have much more torque or pulling power than a petrol engine. The only disadvantage to a diesel is the fact that it is more costly to build than a gasoline engine.
