The petrol engine is the most common type of engine in cars.<\/li>\n<li>A petrol engine works by burning petrol in a small explosion inside the engine. This explosion forces the pistons down, which turns the crankshaft. The turning crankshaft then turns the wheels, making the car go forwards or backwards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diesel_Engine\"><\/span>Diesel Engine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>A diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to ignite diesel fuel, which in turn powers the engine.<\/li>\n<li>Diesel fuel is a petroleum-based fuel that is used in diesel engines. It is a thicker, more viscous fuel than gasoline, and it does not evaporate as easily.<\/li>\n<li>Diesel engines are compression-ignition engines, which means that the diesel fuel is ignited by the heat of compression. The heat of compression causes the diesel fuel to ignite, and the resulting explosion of fuel powers the engine.<\/li>\n<li>Diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline engines and they produce more torque. They are also more durable and they can run on a wider variety of fuels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Petrol_Engine_vs_Diesel_Engine\"><\/span>Petrol Engine vs Diesel Engine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>There are many differences between petrol and diesel engines, but the most significant difference is in the way that they create power. A petrol engine uses spark plugs to ignite a mixture of air and fuel, while a diesel engine uses compression to heat the air so that the fuel ignites.<\/li>\n<li>This difference means that a diesel engine is more efficient than a petrol engine, and it is also why diesel engines are more popular in Europe than in the United States. Diesel engines also tend to be more reliable than petrol engines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are Petrol and Diesel Engines?
