Powerful Diesel Cars
2016-12-17 14:08:52 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Diesel has an octane rating of 15 - 25 while gasoline used in todays cars usually runs 85 - 95.
Gasoline will ignite a lot easier than diesel too.
Diesel engines will by far outlast gas (Petrol) engines in any given set of circumstances mainly because they have considerably less moving parts.
Modern diesels are not only quiet and efficient, but they out perform their gas counterparts by a large margin except when it comes to speed. You'll never see a diesel being used in Formula 1 racing. There you need a petrol fired engine using an octane level of 110 or higher.

diesel is the future! diesels have come a long way in recent years and the current market has these common rail diesels which are far more powerful than their predecessors. diesel and petrol engines are constructed exactly the same except diesels have a higher combustion ratio (because its the compressed air that ignites the fuel).
diesels last longer as they are a lower revving engine where as petrol's run at higher revs thus causing more wear on the engine.
my current car is a 2002 Renault lacuna 1.9dci. which has a 1900cc common rail turbo diesel engine. it has 130 bhp does 0-60 in around 10 secs i guess and i topped it out on the autobahn at 135mph with 3 guys in it and a load of work equipment (how much faster do you want to go?). plus i average around 40mpg (UK).
sweet.

Hi! Patna rose. This is Anup from Nasik. I am student of Automobile Engg. The diesel engines are more powerful indeed. The reason behind this is - the compression ratio of diesel engines is more than petrol engines. For the same reason diesel engines are heavier than petrol engines so as to resist higher compression ratio.
For any other querries related to automobiles e-mail me at aksanup9287@yahoo.com. May be I shall have better solutions to your problems.
Goodbye!!

Petrol
2006-09-08 01:10:29 · answer #6 · answered by sach 2 · 0⤊ 0⤋
petrol (gasoline) is a much more explosive and volatile than diesel.
If you want to blow something up, use petrol.
If you want to go very fast in a vehicle, use petrol.
If you need lots of torque from an engine, use diesel.
Diesel's can produce very high speeds, as well, just not quite as high as from petrol vehicles.
The reason people think diesel is more powerful is because how the engine is constructed to achieve power from diesel fuel.
petrol engines run at higher rpm, lower torque and lower compression whereas diesel engines run at lower rpm, have higher torque and much higher compression.
The torque from a diesel engine is a result of the very high compression levels used to produce combustion.

Petrol is more powerful. You try. Take petrol and diesel. Light them with match stick. Petrol will burn quickly.

Petrol is more powerful for outright horsepower but diesel engines usually have more torque (low end grunt).

Hello!! :o) Generally speaking - a petrol [gas] engine will have more speed obtaining horsepower whereas a diesel will have more weight pulling torque. Craig!! :o)

Talking about engines, Diesel is more powerful due to the higher compression ratio.
