Left to its own devices, no - each is already a complex mixture of compounds that all dissolve in one another. The hydrocarbons in diesel are chemically quite similar to those in petrol - it's just that the chains are about twice the size. This means that petrol and diesel will quite happily dissolve in each other.
Given a few million pounds' worth of oil refinery, separating the two becomes an everyday task.
From my experience they do seperate. Gas (petrol) to the bottm and diesel to the top.
Distillation, Gasoline has a lower boiling-point, so it will separate-out first.
In my experience if allowed to sit still they will separate, gasoline to the top.
Petrol and diesel can be separated from crude oil through a process called fractional distillation. Crude oil is heated in a distillation column, which allows the different components to evaporate at their specific boiling points. This process results in the separation of petrol and diesel, along with other refined products, based on their molecular weights.
No, diesel engine require diesel fuel. Put petrol in a diesel engine and you will destroy it.
diesel and petrol are source which is used to generate power.
The burning temperature of diesel is higher than that of petrol. Diesel ignites at a higher temperature compared to petrol.
Petrol is and bit more vicous and that diesel is a lot darker than petrol. Petrol burns quicker when set alight, however diesel burns more brightly!
petrol
Petrol is far more comustile compared to Diesel
No, you cannot convert a petrol to burn diesel.
Fractional distillation ( i think)
