in theory no the air is there to assist the fuel to make sure its a clean burn. the only problem with that is, a pre determined amount of fuel is going into the cylinder so that is that much space taken up. the way the air intake work is when the piston goes to BDC (bottom dead center) it creates an atmospheric imbalance or a vacuum which means it only takes in what it can.

What is the difference between a diesel engine and a petrol engine characteristic?

A diesel engine ignites it's fuel through compression and has no spark plugs. A gasoline engine has 1 or 2 spark plugs in each cylinder that fires at a set time and ignites the fuel. A diesel engine typically has much more torque than a gasoline engine and is designed to pull a heavy load. A gasoline engine will accelerate faster than a diesel but the diesel will have much more torque and be able to pull much heavier loads. A diesel engine will last much longer than a gasoline engine as it is built much heavier. Modern diesels are fairly quiet and make almost no more noise than a gas engine especially off idle.
