When petrol is mixed with diesel engine the engine will not start due to the following reasons;

  1. Fuel in diesel must be compressed at 400o and above to approach compression power while petrol start at 150o
  2. Petrol have lower density than that used in diesel engine
  3. Petrol use spark ignition lather pressure ignition
  4. Petrol have different octane number than that used in diesel engine
  5. Petrol fuel cannot produce much power as that produced in diesel engine with real diesel fuel.
  6. Will not accomplish diesel engine phases
