'''Diesel Engine''' also known as a compression-ignition engine is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition to burn the fuel, which is injected into the combustion chamber. This is in contrast to spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine or gasoline engine or gas engine , which uses a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture. The engine was developed by Rudolf Diesel in 1893. | '''Diesel Engine''' also known as a compression-ignition engine is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition to burn the fuel, which is injected into the combustion chamber.
