How is gasoline different from diesel, and why does it damage the car if you put the wrong kind in the tank?
In: 4472
Gasoline and diesel are two different types of fuel. Gasoline is a light petroleum product that is used in spark-ignited internal combustion engines. Diesel is a heavier petroleum product that is used in compression-ignited internal combustion engines.
If you put gasoline into a car that requires diesel, it can damage the engine. Gasoline will not compress like diesel, so it can cause piston and cylinder damage.
