Because: here are the good points to use petrol for engine over a diesel:
- Petrols are generally more powerful
- Petrols are smoother
- Petrols are quicker
- Petrols are generally less smokey
- Petrols have a higher, longer rev band, and the power is normally more evenly spread over the rev band
- Sometimes petrols are a cheaper engine option to make when used in the manufacture of small cars.
Turbochargers are used on some petrol or gasoline engines.
Fuel oil is thicker than petrol because it has a higher viscosity and density. Fuel oil is used in heating systems and diesel engines, while petrol is used as a fuel for gasoline engines in cars.
two stroke diesel engine is used in cargo ships as cross head type engines, two stroke petrol engines used in two wheelers.
petrol does not last forever
They can be. Petrol engines can be either fuel injected, or have carburetors. Smaller engines, like scooters, lawnmowers etc are almost always carburetted, while car engines are usually fuel injected these days.
Since water doesn't burn like petrol, it's far less useful to power engines with.
WHAT ARE THE BASIC PARTS OF PETROL ENGINE? HOW DOES PETROL ENGINE WORKS?
The diesel engine is designed to use diesel, which reaches combustion at high (relatively to petrol) pressure and temperature. If petrol is injected into a diesel engine, then combustion will take place in a, very different than it was designed, way, which will eventually destroy the engine. But there are engines that have been designed to burn diesel or petrol. They call them bifuel engines. Old farmer tractors used to have this kind of engines.
Petrol is a mixture of hydrocarbons and does not have acidic properties. It is a combustible fuel primarily used in internal combustion engines.
Because the engines will not run with the wrong fuel to to their design. Although both diesel and petrol engines are internal combustion engines, they have differences that enable them to use these different fuels. A petrol engine ignites the fuel/air mixture by using a spark plug. A diesel engine in contrast has no spark but compresses air during the compression cycle. When air is compressed it heats up. Diesel is then injected into the cylinder and it ignites.
No it cannot. Petrol and Diesel are different.
Some used steam-powered engines, others used early petrol or gas engines. Some even used battery-powered electric motors.
