Differences gasoline and diesel engines

Petrol engine or Otto engine of Nikolaus Otto is a type of internal combustion engines that are often used in automobiles, aircraft, or other tools such as lawnmowers or motorcycles, and outboard motors for boats.

The most common type of this engine is a combustion engine in round four strokes that burn gasoline. Combustion initiated by ignition system which burns a high voltage sparks through the spark plug. Round two-stroke engine type often used for smaller applications, lightweight and inexpensive, but its fuel efficiency is not good.

An additional assumption that, Wankel engines also use gasoline

as its fuel.

One component in the old engine is the carburetor, which mixes fuel with air. On newer machines that replaced the carburetor with fuel injection.

The diesel engine is a type of internal combustion engines; more specifically, a trigger compression engine, where fuel is ignited by high temperature gas is compressed, and not by means of other energy (such as spark plugs).

This machine was invented in 1892 by Rudolf Diesel, who received a patent on February 23, 1893. Diesel wanted a machine to be used with a variety of fuels including coal dust.
Advantages and disadvantages compared with the engine spark-ignition

Diesel engines greater than gasoline engines heavy construction required to withstand the high combustion pressures for ignition. And also made with the same qualities that make the fans get a huge increase in power using a turbocharged engine through modifications are relatively easy and inexpensive. Gasoline engine with the same size cannot exclude the energy comparable because the components in it are not able to withstand high pressures, and the candidates to make diesel engines at low cost engine modifications.

The addition of a turbocharger or supercharger to the engine improves fuel economy and power. High compression ratio that make diesel engines more efficient than using gasoline engines. Improved fuel economy also means that diesel engines produce less carbon dioxide.
