Why does diesel not run in gas engines?
I know that it breaks down the distributor and the engine, but why does that happen? How does that work?
It also doesn’t have the octane gas has.
……………..
Even more important than that, look at how each engine works. Both engines have a power stroke that requires the fuel-air mixture to ignite, forcing the piston down in the cylinder.
Gasoline engines have spark plugs while diesel engines do not. This is because gasoline requires a spark to ignite. Diesel just requires compression to ignite. Diesel and gasoline have different chemical properties and their engines are designed to use those specific properties.
Diesel will not run in gasoline engines because it was not made to run in that type of engine
…………….
Diesel is very hard to ignite. It is injected into the cylinder when the compression is highest then it ignites with temprature, gas is injected into the cylinder then compressed then the spark plug ignites it.
……..
Diesel fuel is design to be ignited by compression. Gasoline is designed to be ignited by spark plug.
Diesel is thicker and does not work well with gasoline fuel injector.
……………….
diesel engines dont have a spark plug they have a glow plug. And if diesel ignites at a high temperature, the spark plug might ignite it prematurely
…………
The compression ratio is different.
Don’t ever try it, you’ll ruin the engine
