why petrol engines have more power than diesel engines of
same capacity?

Answer Posted / abhishek prakash

hi frndz.
according to me the rate of power depends on combustion. In
S.I engines more amount of fuel get burnt as compare to
diesle engine.But in petrol engine due to turbulance a rich
mixture burnt more lively n smoothly and in deisel engine
only compression is there,so d mixture gets not proper
turbulance and amount of burnt mix. is little bit lesser
than petrol engine.
therefore petrol engines have more power than diesel engines
of same capacity.
