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

Answer Posted / techyy

It's true that the Diesel engine generates more torque than
that of Petrol engines due to higher working pressures, but
the speed of Diesel engines is less as compared to Petrol
engines because of rate of combustion of those fuels &
Diesel engines being very heavy.

Power = Torque * RPM.
This makes petrol engines more powerful as compared to
Diesel engines because of very high speeds.
