The compression ratio of a Diesel ranges from 14:1 to as high as 25:1. I agree just depends on engine.
It has a compression ratio of 17.5:1
because a diesel engine ignites its fuel with pressure, and not with a spark like a petrol engine. that is why a petrol engine does not need as high a compression ratio as a diesel engine
The Diesel
Usually between 16:1 and 22:1
Around 18:1 will give a running diesel on a engine such as an old perkins 4203
Diese
Because of higher compression ratio.
The compression ratio is high enough to combust the diesel without the aid of sparkplugs
A diesel engine requires at least a 20:1 compression ratio, or about double a gasoline engine. The PSI this translates to depends on the size of the cylinder. You will need to consult the manufacturer's service manual.
between 18 and 25 to one depending on engine I agree. It all depends on what engine you have.
Diesel engines have a much higher compression ratio than gasoline engines. Therefore, you need to drain all the gas you can out of you tank and fill it with diesel.
