Gasoline (Petrol) vs Diesel: Which one is better? A Beginner’s Guide

Bitume? Is it not Bitumen? Think you've got a spelling mistake on that chart there

Sorry, that's a typo. Thanks for your feedback. We have pinned your comment.

[@benjaminguilatcoiv]

@@Scienceabc electric vehicles are a lie. They are Harmful to the environment. And electric cars are still very much less efficient in cost and practicality both in the short term and over the vehicle "lifespan". Besides EMF from electric cars are directly Harmful to human health and fertility. It is propaganda with an insidious agenda that hide these truths and seek to promote electric cars.

Thanks for the explanation. Diesel is now more expensive per liter than petrol in my country.

Me too

[@sametoruc1347]

happened after pandemic but back to usual again and it's about 12-14 Cent (Euro) cheaper per liter thn Petrol

[@saltydogg]

The energy formula is (volume * density * energy * efficiency) divided by volume.Volume times density equals mass. Since the mass is the same (1 kg) for both fuels, and the hydrogen content is the same (130 grams) for both fuels then the energy is the same for both fuels (mass * energy * efficiency) 1 * 120 * 13% = 15.6 mega joules per kilogram.

[@alexgrazie93]

5:25 here is contrary. Older engines have better reliability. New engines are made on purpose to break after 150k - 200k at that spot when the warranty ends. Because consumerism. My 1.9 ALH VW Golf, still the best, changed only consumables.

[@yudiwahyudin6644]

Agree ... Indirect and direct injection diesel has more reliability. Cheap maintenance and if tuned properly it can perform like CRDi and as i know. 74-84hp indirect 2.5L N.A more stronger than 105hp 2.5L CRDi with 2T load on uphill. The old one just adjusting fuel timing and adding 1lt gasoline /20lt diesel. And indirect can run with waste engine oil, but must refine/filtered before. WMO price 3$/20L and just add 1lt gasoline/20L oil. It will be fine. love old diesel.. 😁😁

[@cautarepvp2079]

yep, i also corrected him there, qfter ALH engine on VAG group (volkswagen,audi,seat,skoda) is BKC and BXC, literally best engines made 1.9tdi 105 hp.

[@colingibson3921]

You didn't mention the fact that diesel engine now have there own versions of catalytic converter using DEF fluid.that has all but eliminated the big black cloud when the engine is under load.. otherwise a good but simplistic program.

[@smokeymacpot76]

hahaha def gov juice hahaha

[@theliberaldestroyer3796]

DEF is the stupidest thing ever seen. All it does is strangle out the engine, dirty up important and crucial components. Sometimes will leave you on the side of the road because a sensor got dirty. Only people its done favors for is dealerships because they get to rail the pockets of their customers.

[@sametoruc1347]

@@theliberaldestroyer3796 if you do enough distance and put your foot down every now and thn it wont happen! It's Society's fault choosing wrong type of car "engine" for their needs or sales people in main dealers so corrupted not educated about their products and they just want to sell anything and take your money! I have Audi A6 2.0TDI 190BHP with AdBlue and I never had any issues in 9 years.

Just so we clear. Diesel fuel is 30% more expensive in europe at this moment because of political mess around the world. This causes loads of Diesel users seling their cars to buy a petrol engine car where you can even instal LPG fuel system which is half cheaper than petrol at the moment. Thanks for your video.

[@dareka9425]

"...fealty to gasoline and diesel..." Usually fossil fuel users are called greedy, enslaved or addicted. I want to move to alternative fuels but the technology is still unattainable for most of the world. I don't like this kind of shaming language. If you want to sell your ideas, sell them! Don't go shaming people for using the only viable energy source they can afford because renewable energy is still making baby steps in other countries. I'm currently teaching my students about renewable energy and the last thing I want to do is call their poor parents as greedy, enslaved fossil fuel addicts. My students' awareness of renewable energy is through the popularity of the Tesla brand, e-bikes and the rising number of people using solar wall lights for security. I told my students that in 10 years they could living in a new age of renewable energy but don't scoff at the fossil fuel vehicle that their parents used to toil their land with and provide for their future. We use what we have and at the moment it's still fossil fuel. If renewable energy is cheaper and more readily available then people would gladly move to it. Just like how people easily embrace smartphones over cellphones: new ideas need be accepted in order to grow, not forced down your throat.

Anyone tell me what is difference between gasoline or petrol????)?????

[@Scienceabc]

They are the same.

[@stevejohnson1321]

Both are created as crude oil is refined, so neither is really "better." We seem to find uses for both streams.

[@moonlightgaming3067]

[@One.Zero.One101]

Can you make a more detailed video about the differences between a gasoline and diesel engine?

I don't need very high speeds, and I like long term money savings, with torque being cool. I like this Video very much, it's informative

[@dave0z96]

The actual name of the fuel for referring the gasoline and petrol is Motor Spirit

Very good, except that the combustion of diesel engines is done by pressure and the glow plugs are only used to start the engine.

❌ The narrator had a nice voice, and the animator was certainly skilled, but the video was too fast and too confusing. It was over animated. I kept getting distracted by the dialogue, the antics and the expressions of all the characters. When you’re trying to learn something new, you need to be focused, not distracted. A few illustrations are great, but when there’s too much going on, it defeats the purpose and backfires. I also completely missed the point of the two street fighters getting beaten up (by an alien?) at the end. The narrator was also speaking a little too fast. You covered some really excellent material and I learned a lot, but I had to watch it twice to do so. Simple is best! Thx Lorne Holman in Calgary AB Canada 🇨🇦

Electric Cars are not the solution our battery tech is not enough advanced and the implications of the rare materials extracted from earth, how the battery dies so easly and how we dispose of them sticking to Gasoline engines will be better in the long run

[@acera12345]

Also take into account of how most electric is made and the inefficiency of that process rather than just powering the car straight out. ( Nuclear created electricity is not clean either for obvious reasons) Hydrogen seems to be the new way to go now.

Using less coal, using less leaded petrol, more enviromental awareness, more enviromental laws...
