4 Easy Ways To Distinguish Between Diesel Cars And Petrol Cars

Published by Nairaland on Wed, 11 Apr 2018


Telling apart a diesel powered car from petrol powered car is easy when you know exactly what to do. As an individual knowledgeable in things related to automobile, you should know this.<br><br>In this part of the world, petrol cars dominate diesel cars; be it as it may, no knowledge is a waste.<br><br><b>Below are the various 4 ways you can tell petrol cars apart from diesel cars.</b><br><br><b>1. The sound from the car:</b><br><br>Petrol powered cars produce smoother sound when compared to diesel cars. The sound from the diesel engine is somewhat unpleasant. Sounds more like a tractor. You will hear a rattling sound when a diesel car is idling and this becomes raspier when you start driving it.<br>Recent technologies in diesel engines have curbed this. Most recent diesel engines dont make such noise.<br><br><img class=img src="http://i64.tinypic.com/103xteo.jpg"></img><br><br><br><br><b>2. The fuel cap label:</b><br><br>Diesel powered cars would usually come with a label reading Diesel Fuel Only or Diesel inside their fuel doors.<br>This alone will tell you its a diesel car. Cars that run on fuel do have Gasoline Only written on their fuel door.<br><br><img class=img src="http://i66.tinypic.com/fp7cw.jpg"></img><br><br><br><br><br><b>3. The model name:</b><br><br>There could be a clue in the model name of the car. It is yet another easy way to identify a diesel car. A diesel powered car is likely to come with the letter D in its model name. For example, if you see a car that has BMW 320d or Lexus IS 220d, the D tells you it is a diesel powered car.<br><br><img class=img src="http://i64.tinypic.com/242sq3o.jpg"></img><br><br><br><br><br><b>4. Peep into the engine:</b><br><br>Diesel cars have no spark plugs. The pressure from compression of diesel and air is enough to give them the ignition that a spark plug would do for petrol engine.<br><br><img class=img src="http://i66.tinypic.com/28tko01.jpg"></img><br><br><br>Diesel Vs Petrol engine, which do you prefer'<br><br><a href="https://autojosh.com/diesel-cars-and-petrol-cars-differences/">https://autojosh.com/diesel-cars-and-petrol-cars-differences/</a>
