The "plug" powers an coolant heater. A diesel engine starts easier if the engine is warm.
No!
Because the fuel is ignited by a spark plug rather than by compression as is the case with a diesel.
Diesel engines run much higher compression than petrol engines. The higher compression makes the air in the cylinder so hot that the fuel self ignites. A petrol engine doesn't get warm enough for self ignition, so you have to add a spark from the spark plug to ignite the fuel.
There isn't a 5.7L Hemi diesel.
The main difference between a diesel and a steam engine is the diesel engine is an internal combustion and the steam engine is external combustion.
Actually , there are no spark plugs in a diesel engine
spark plug
A diesel engine doesn't have spark plugs or spark plug wires.
If the engine has spark plug it is said to be petrol engine, and if it has a pump to inject fuel then it is diesel engine.
No With some exceptions in the 1950's and before. Some early diesels started on gasoline with spark plugs and then switched to diesel when the engine was warmeed up.
to preheat the air
There are no spark plugs in a diesel engine therefor no plug wires thus no distributor and no coil.
There is not spark plugs in a diesel engine.
None, it's diesel!
only if you have a diesel engine.
No!
The engine wont run because the octane count of diesel is lower compared to the octane count of gasoline. Diesel has a different method of combustion and the spark of spark plug is not enough to fire a diesel engine.
