Petrol have high volatile so completely mix to covert gases firm at atmosphere temperature. when using diesel in petrol not mix both air and diesel are in different form so even give spark not to burn so not started... In diesel engine using petrol. Fuel pump atomize the petrol when it reach self ignition then burn but high compression ratio the petrol engine starting knocking so not move..
