petrol at one time but diesel is now on a par. Today it is more of a question of how efficiently they are used.
Diesel,petrol and fuel were found at the same time by a forest explorer in a forest.
Yes, petrol will work in a diesel engine but will run rough for a short time before the engine needs extensive and expensive repairs.
Diesel run in any petrol engine will do damage if you can keep the engine running for a long period of time. A petrol engine will not start and run on diesel fuel alone Posted by Danny from Bee Mech Mobile Mechanics
A Petrol engine use petrol that it ignites to cause an explosion in the cylinders, where the diesel engine works by compressing the mix of diesel and air, expose this to heat to make it explode but over a longer time. So a diesel engine has no spark plugs. The diesel needs pressure and heat, while petrol is explosive, will explode. So the two cannot be used together.
Yes you can use Siphon but next time try reading the label and don't put in diesel.
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.
The main advantage of a diesel van over a similar petrol one is that the fuel ecomony is better with a diesel van, and in some cases the suggested length of time between servicing is greater. However the increased fuel ecomony needs to be set off against the higher cost of purchasing diesel and in many cases the higher purchase price.
As much as the fuel tank can hold
Who cares it's a cheapskate diesel. Grow a pair and get a turbo charged petrol engine, just compare like for like so take your 2.0 ltr diesel and look at the equivalent 2.0ltr petrol it will make the diesel look poor. Its a diesel get over it.
Yes it is possible to swap a diesel for a petrol engine, if you have the money, skill, and time. It will require lots of money. I would not advise it.
