Which is best engine a petrol or a diesel?

They each have their pros and cons. The Diesel will last longer, use less fuel, and has more pulling power or torque. The petrol is cheaper to build, fuel cost less, and is cheaper to repair.


Which is rated better diesel or petrol engine?

Each engine is rated better for different things. A petrol engine generally has a higher horsepower than a diesel engine, so acceleration and speed is often better on a petrol engine. Diesel engines tend to rate better with torque, so they are better at pulling heavy loads, which is why diesel engines are used in trucks and locomotives.


What is cetane number for petrol?

There is no cetane number for petrol. Cetane is a measurement of Diesel fuel and Octane is a measure of Petrol. Each is a measure of the combustion ability. Cetane is a measure of the amount of time from injection of the fuel into the combustion chamber and the actual ignition of the fuel. Diesel's ignite the fuel through compression and not spark as in a petrol engine.


Will diesel separate from petrol?

Left to its own devices, no - each is already a complex mixture of compounds that all dissolve in one another. The hydrocarbons in diesel are chemically quite similar to those in petrol - it's just that the chains are about twice the size. This means that petrol and diesel will quite happily dissolve in each other. Given a few million pounds' worth of oil refinery, separating the two becomes an everyday task.


Will petrol float on diesel?

No, although it is lighter than diesel and therefore would normally float to the top, the two will dissolve in each other forming a new liquid that will not separate into layers.


Why is petrol better than diesel?

Your question assumes this is true but it is not. Both fuels have their uses. Diesel engines are far superior to petrol engines when they are needed to haul or pull a heavy load. They also last longer and are more durable. Petrol engines are cheaper to build and the fuel cost less per gallon. They also have other advantages and disadvantages to a diesel engine. Neither is better they are just different and each has a use.

Which fuel is better diesel or petrol?

It's not a question of 'better' - they have different uses and purposes.


Which one is better to buy a petrol car or a diesel car?

There is no better. Each has plus and minus. Diesel has more torque (pulling power), will last longer, gets better mileage, but cost more to buy and maintain. Diesel fuel is also more costly. Petrol is cheaper to build, costs less to maintain, normally has more horsepower, and gasoline is cheaper than diesel. The decision on which to buy is much easier to make today due to how clean diesel engines are now.patrol cars are better than diesel ones if the use is very less.
