    Petrol Engine Diesel Engine: Difference Between

    Uploaded by

    A petrol engine follows the Otto cycle and uses a spark plug for ignition, while a diesel engine follows the diesel cycle and uses higher compression for ignition without a spark plug. Petrol engines have lower compression ratios and power output compared to diesel engines, and are used in lighter vehicles with more fuel consumption and maintenance required. Diesel engines have higher compression ratios and power output, and are used in heavier vehicles with less fuel consumption and maintenance required but higher maintenance costs.
