I assume you mean in a diesel engine? The engine is made with a very high compression ratio, much higher than a gas(petrol) engine. The fuel is injected as a spray at the right time in the engine stroke cycle, and the high compression instantly heats it to ignition, providing the power stroke of the engine. Engines can be made with indirect or direct injection. The latter are now almost universal in small auto engines. The older indirect engines required a preheat of the fuel to start and were less efficient. The direct injection type start instantly without preheat. Older direct injection engines were noisy but electronic control of the injection has now enabled quiet and smooth auto engines which are very popular in Europe because fuel consumption is much lower than with gas(petrol).
