What is the difference between a gasoline engine and a diesel engine? Which one is better? Why do people use diesel without using gasoline ... This problem is always used by many users to question and debate. So what's the difference between these two engines? Advantages and disadvantages of gasoline engines and Diesel how? The following article outlines the differences, advantages and disadvantages of these two types of engines to give the reader a more general look at the two types of engines.

Differences Between Diesel Engines and Gasoline Engines:
The diesel engine uses diesel fuel, no spark plugs, engine powered by the compression of fuel mixture and air in the cylinder.

Gasoline engines use fuel as fuel, resulting in the combustion of a mixture of air fuel in the cylinder thanks to spark plugs.

Advantages of Diesel Engines versus Gasoline Engines:
Advantages:

- Diesel engine performance is higher than petrol engine (1.5 times).

- Diesel oil is cheaper than gasoline.

- Diesel engine's own fuel consumption is lower than that of gasoline engine.

- Diesel oil does not burn at normal temperature so it is less dangerous.

- Due to the lack of carburetor and ignition parts, the diesel engine is less damaged.

- Diesel engines outperform better gasoline engines.

Disadvantages:

- At the same capacity, diesel engines are heavier than gasoline engines.

- The higher compression ratio of the diesel engine requires the engine parts to be good resulting in more expensive fabrication.

- The details of the fuel system in diesel engines are very high accuracy (error 1 / 100mm) as high pressure pump, injectors, so the cost of manufacturing and repair higher.

- Repair parts of the diesel fuel system must have specialized machines, expensive tools and skilled workers.

- Diesel engine speed is lower than petrol engine speed.

- Diesel engines cause more noise and "foul" than gasoline engines. (This has been overcome with many advanced technologies)

Diesel engines and gasoline engines have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, the manufacturer has applied two types of engines on the car to suit the purpose of each vehicle separately. Feeling and enjoying a smooth, petrol-like, gas-powered, or powerful, diesel-powered vehicle depends on the preferences and needs of each person. In this article, we hope people will have more knowledge about these two types of engines and easier to choose for the purpose of using their vehicles.
