What else can I help you with?
What are different gasoline engine strokes..?
induction, compression, ignition & exhaust on a typical 4-stroke,.
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.
Gasoline in diesel engine?
Gasoline engine is an internal combustion engine where a diesel is an internal compression engine. Gasoline is highly flammable and explodes when an electrical spark is applied to it where diesel explodes when it is put under pressure
What is the compression psi on a 1990 engine?
Normal compression on a gasoline engine is about 125 psi.
Why does a diesel engine develop more torque than a gasoline engine of equivalent displacement?
Diesel engine runs at a higher compression ratio than a gasoline engine. A typical diesel engine may also use a longer stroke and smaller bore than a gasoline engine. Diesel fuel has a higher energy density than gasoline.
Can you use gasoline engine oil in a diesel engine?
No, absolutely not. Diesel engines run at a much higher compression than gasoline engines. A typical gasoline engine has a compression ration of 10:1 while the typical diesel compression ratio is 20:1 or higher. The diesel burns fuel through compression and the gasoline burns by ignition. You must use an oil with an API rating of C (Compression) in a diesel. Gasoline engines use API rating S (Spark). Use exactly the proper weight and API rating as listed in your owner's manual. Use a gasoline motor oil and you will destroy that diesel engine. -IMPROVED - I totally agree with Almostevil. I own a diesel and this is what I use. So, I didn't "improve" his answer but do back it up!
What are typical compression test reading for a diesel engine in good condition?
typical compression test reading fora diesel engine
Compression ration in diesel engine is?
Higher than a gasoline 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.
What is spark ignition engine?
A 'spark ignition ' engine is your regular gasoline engine as opposed to a diesel, which is a 'compression ignition' engine
What is the difference between a reciprocating internal combustion engine and compression ignition combustion engine?
Compression ignition is deisel. Otherwise, spark ignition is gasoline.
Can a gasoline engine be converted to a diesel engine?
No the compression in a Gasoline is only 8 to 1 in a Diesel it is 22 to 1 so it would blow up
