The difference is that diesel is more oily than petrol, and is cheaper to produce.
The burning temperature of diesel is higher than that of petrol. Diesel ignites at a higher temperature compared to petrol.
The petrol one uses petrol, and, wait for it, the diesel one uses diesel!
Petrol is typically a light yellow or clear color, while diesel is usually a shade of green or light blue. The color is due to the different additives and dyes used to differentiate between the two types of fuel at petrol stations.
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
Diesel has highest ignition temperature.. So only diesel cant be used in petrol engine
No it cannot. Petrol and Diesel are different.
The primary difference between a petrol car and diesel car is the consumption rate - diesel and petrol are refined from mineral oil using differing methods. The result is diesel engines having a lower fuel consumption rate than their petrol counterparts when installed in a vehicle of similar mass. CO2 emissions are also lower in a diesel engine than they are in a petrol engine.
Most definitely.
diesel vapors due not ignite like gasoline does. Also diesel has a totally different smell.
If the engine has spark plug it is said to be petrol engine, and if it has a pump to inject fuel then it is diesel engine.
Yes, diesel generally has larger molecules than petrol. This difference in molecular size is one of the factors that contribute to the differences in properties between diesel and petrol, such as their boiling points and combustion characteristics.
I'd probably do it by smell.
