One of the ways of starting a diesel engine is turning the key to stat position without turning the engine on. The second step is to wait for the glow plugs to heat up.

Is there more power in petrol engine than diesel engine?

There is more energy in one gallon of diesel than one gallon of gasoline. To elaborate, the word "petrol" is defined in different ways in different places..... but if you have two internal combustion engines of the same displacement the diesel will produce more power than the gasoline engine, especially in 'torque' measurement


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


How do you dissasemble the engine?

there are many different ways but it mainly depends on what kind of engine it is hope i can help


How would you install a diesel engine into a 2001 Manual Turbo Vw Beetle?

There are two ways. All Volkswagen four-cylinder engines have the same bolt locations, flywheel diameter and so on, so theoretically the process is to remove the gasoline engine and put the diesel in its place. You'd also have to change all the engine control electronics, the exhaust system, and anything else that differed between gas and diesel engine cars. The more advisable way would be to trade your car in on a diesel Beetle.


How can you identify a car whether it is a diesel engine or petrol engine after opening the bonnet?

The easiest and quickest method is to look for spark plugs in the engine. If you can see them, it isn't is a diesel-powered engine. However, instead of petrol, an engine that have spark plugs can also be a gas-powered engine. Diesel engines uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition and burn the fuel that has been injected into the combustion chamber, so they haven't spark plugs. The compressor is visible on the engine. - - - - - In a lot of cases it's hard to find the spark plugs. They can be under a cover, in a weird place on the engine... There are a couple of ways. The simplest and most obvious: diesel engines usually have "diesel" marked on them somewhere. A diesel almost always has a huge fuel filter with a drain valve at the bottom so you can drain off the water that winds up in the fuel. Diesel engines tend to smell like diesel, and diesels have bigger exhaust pipes than gas engines because diesels can't stand backpressure. Diesel-powered engines have pipes which come from the fuel pump, (injector pump) and enter the combustion chamber. These pipes are visible on a diesel-powered engine. Then, this is the quickest method to define the type of engine.


What are the difference between petrol engine and mpfi engine?

There is no difference. Petrol is just another name for gasoline. MPFI just means Multi-Point Fuel Injection. A petrol (gasoline) engine can be MPFI or it can have a carburetor. It can have many different ways to get gasoline (petrol) to the cylinders.


Does petrol work in a diesel engine?

The self ignition temp of petrol is much higher than diesel hence only compression in diesel engine cannot initiate the combustion .thus petrol cannot be used in diesel engine. There was an episode of "Amazing Race" a couple of years ago where the contestants jumped into the cars they were given to drive to the next destination. They were all diesel. They had to stop on the way there and fill up the tanks. It was night and about half the contestants did not notice that the cars were diesel and they pumped gasoline into the tanks. The cars did in fact get down the road a ways until they finally stopped. The most enterprising of the contestants was an older gentleman who crawled underneath his car, disconnected the fuel line, drained the tank, reconnected it, and refilled it with diesel. No a diesel will not run on gasoline.

How can a diesel engine build up water internally?

Several different ways; water in the fuel system is the most common. Next, a small leak in the cooling system allowing coolant to escape the "closed system" and bleed off into the crankcase. Third condensation - although this is highly unlikely
