STARTING & DRIVING<br />
Driving <strong>Tata</strong> Indica Diesel / Petrol Cars<br />
DIESEL & PETROL ENGINE :<br />
The combustion systems of the petrol engine & diesel engine<br />
are totally different. While the former makes use of the spark<br />
ignition, the latter uses compression ignition type. Due to the<br />
difference in compression ratios, cylinder pressure and combustion<br />
cycle the performance characteristics of both the engines differ<br />
greatly, even if the final power out put is the same.<br />
Therefore, if the diesel car is driven in the same fashion as the<br />
petrol car the response of the car will be entirely different for<br />
equal capacity engines.<br />
