Diesel engines differ from gas engines in a few key ways.

Diesel engines differ from gas engines in a few key ways. Most notably, diesel engines use a high-pressure fuel system and engine compression to ignite the fuel, while gas engines rely on spark plugs. This means that diesel engines tend to be more efficient and durable than their gas counterparts. However, diesel fuel can be more expensive than gas, and diesel engines typically produce more emissions than gas engines.

Diesel fuel systems require specialized tools and training to service and repair. Diesel engines are also more expensive to maintain than gas engines, due to the need for specialized parts and expertise. However, diesel engines often have a longer lifespan than gas engines, and may ultimately save you money in the long run.

If you’re looking for a vehicle that can handle heavy-duty applications like towing, diesel is the way to go. Diesel engines are built for durability and can offer more power and torque than gas engines. However, diesel vehicles can be more expensive to purchase and maintain, so be sure to do your research before making a decision.
