How is diesel fuel ignited in a warm diesel engine?
Compression.
Are spark plugs used in diesel engines?
NO, fuel is ignited by compression.
What if the glow plugs misfire?
glow plugs do not fire glow plugs are used to heat the chamber where the diesel ignites diesel is not ignited by a spark diesel is ignited thru compression
In what type of engine is the air and fuel mixture ignited by the heat created during the compression stage?
The air and fuel mixture is ignited by the heat created during the compression stage in a compression ignition engine, also known as a diesel engine.
What happens when diesel fuel is placed in a gasoline tractor engine?
It won't run, that's for sure. Diesel is ignited by compression pressure, not by spark. And the compression in a gasoline engine is not sufficient to ignite the diesel.
Is there any vehicle which can run on both petrol and diesel?
A vehical that runs on petrol and diesel is impossible as they are both ignited in different ways. For exaple petrol is ignited by the spark plugs and a diesel is ignited by the shear force of the compression from the pistons. A petrol engine has a round 9:1 compression ratio and a diesel has about 20:1 but these veary from engine to engine I hope that hasn't lost you
What is difference between a diesel and petrol engine?
Basically diesel engines are much higher compression giving them more torque also the fuel is ignited by compression not a spark like in a gas engine
What lights the fuel in a diesel engine?
Diesel fuel is ignited by a combination of heat and compression. The heat is caused by the very high compression in the cylinder. The fuel also has to be very finely atomised to be able to burn.
Why diesel engines don't use spark plugs?
Because the fuel is ignited by compression, not spark. A totally different principle.
What is diesel gas and how does it differ from regular gasoline?
Diesel gas is a type of fuel commonly used in diesel engines. It is different from regular gasoline in terms of how it is ignited and its chemical composition. Diesel fuel is ignited by compression rather than a spark, and it contains higher energy density and lower volatility compared to gasoline.
What engine is the air and fuel mixture ignited by the heat created during the compression stage rather than a spark plug?
That's your average Diesel, or compression ignition engine.
Why gasoline is not used in diesel engines?
Gasoline does not combust properly, or at all, in a compression ignition engine. Gasoline is designed to be ignited by a spark.
