With Diesel Engines, The Compression Ratio Is Higher And There Is More Power. From A Technical Point, Thecompression Ratio Of An Engine Is The Comparison Of Thetotal Volume Of The Cylinder At The Bottom Of The Piston's Stroke Divided By The Volume Of The Cylinderremaining At The Top Of The Stroke.Gasoline RatiosSerious Damage To Gas Engines Can Occur If You Attemptto Run A High Compression Ratio With A Low Octane Typeof Fuel. Detonation Is The Ignition Of The Fuel Dueto The High Temperature Caused By A High Compressionratio That Is Developed By Design. The Fuel Isignited Prior To The Spark Of The Plugs That Resultin A Rapid, Yet Uncontrolled Burning.Diesel RatiosKeep In Mind, The Diesel Is A Heat Engine, Using Heatdeveloped From The Compression Of Air. High Compressionratios Are Possible Since The Air Is Compressed. Thehot Compressed Air Is Sufficient To Ignite The Dieselfuel When It's Finally Injected Near The Top Of Thecompression Stroke.Diesel EnginesFuel And Air In The Design Of Diesel Engines Are Notpremixed Outside Of The Cylinder. Air Is Taken Intothe Cylinder Through The Intake Valve And Thencompressed To Make Heat. The Diesel Fuel Is Injectednear The Top Of The Piston's Stroke In An Amount Orratio That Corresponds To The Load On The Engine.Heavy DutyThe Higher Compression Ratio Causes Engineers To Design, And Test The Block, Heads, Head Bolts, Crackshaft, Connecting Rods, Rod Bolts, Pistons, Piston Pins, Etc., With A Greater Range Of Structuralcapacity. To Put It In Other Terms, Diesels Areheavier Than Gasoline Engines.Gasoline Deciding On Gas And Diesel Can Be Tough, Although There Are Several Reasons Why You Should Use Diesel.1. Diesel Engines Produce Twice The Powerper Gallon Of Fuel Than Gasoline.2. A Gallon Of Diesel Is Normally Cheaperthan A Gallon Of Gas.3. Diesel Fuel Doesn't Blow Up. The Factis, Its Hard To Get Diesel To Burn At All.4. Diesel Engines Will Last Four Timeslonger Than Gasoline Engines.5. Diesel Fuel That Is Untreated Will Lastlonger In Storage Than Untreated Gasoline.6. Treated Diesel Fuel Will Last Longer Instorage Than Treated Gasoline.7. Diesel Fuel Treatment Will Cost Lessthan Gas Treatment.8. Spoiled Diesel Can Be Reconditioned Torefinery Specifications, As Spoiled Gas Can't.9. Unmodified Diesel Engines Can Be Ran Onvegetable Oil.(word Count 409)PPPPP
