The high-speed petrol engine was developed by the German engineer Nikolaus Otto in the late 19th century. Otto is best known for inventing the four-stroke cycle engine, also known as the Otto cycle, which allowed for more efficient combustion and higher speeds. His innovations laid the groundwork for modern internal combustion engines used in automobiles today.

Why compression ratio of petrol enine is 8 where as diesel engine is 22?

because a diesel engine ignites its fuel with pressure, and not with a spark like a petrol engine. that is why a petrol engine does not need as high a compression ratio as a diesel engine


Why is diesel is not used in petrol engines?

Because diesel is ignited of heat and high high compresion not a spark on lower compresion petrol engine. If you use diesel in a petrol you will end up with your engine knocking and pre-detonation followed by your engine blowing up pretty bad.

Why petrol csnnot be used in diese engine?

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.


What are the defferences between dessel and petrol engine?

Petrol & Gas engines are spark ignited engines where as diesel engines are compression ignited engines. Petrol engines works with explosion of fuel air mixture due to spark from spark plug inside the cylinder. Diesel engines works with combustion of fuel air mixture due to compression, compressed mixture attains a very high temperature which exceeds the flash point of diesel and starts burning inside the cylinder and the hot gases after burning of fuel misture exerts force on piston which makes the diesel engines work. Diesel engines are highly efficient than petrol engines.

What causes hunting on an x reg focus 1.8 petrol engine?

If you mean hunting at idle, the problem is caused by the idle speed being set too high or the idle switch is not properly adjusted. When the throttle is closed as indicated by the idle switch the fuel is cut off by the fuel cut solenoid until the engine speed drops below a preset speed. If the engine speed is higher than that speed and the idle switch is closed there is no fuel for the engine, thus the engine speed drops. When it drops below the preset speed the fuel is turned on and the engine speed goes back up.


What is the difference between a diesel engine and a petrol engine ignition of mixture?

petrol engine - Fuel and air mixtures together and compressed in engine. These mixtures ignited by Spark plug Diesel Engine - Air only compressed at high pressure and Temperature. Fuel injected at high temp so that the ignition takes place
