4 Easy Ways To Distinguish Diesel Cars From Petrol Cars

Telling apart a diesel powered car from petrol powered car is easy when you know exactly what to do. As an individual knowledgeable in things related to automobile, you should know this.
In this part of the world, petrol cars dominate diesel cars; be it as it may, no knowledge is a waste.
Below are the various 4 ways you can tell petrol cars apart from diesel cars.
1. The sound from the car:
Petrol powered cars produce smoother sound when compared to diesel cars. The sound from the diesel engine is somewhat unpleasant. Sounds more like a tractor. You will hear a rattling sound when a diesel car is idling and this becomes raspier when you start driving it.
Recent technologies in diesel engines have curbed this. Most recent diesel engines don’t make such noise.
2. The fuel cap label:
Diesel powered cars would usually come with a label reading ‘Diesel Fuel Only’ or ‘Diesel’ inside their fuel doors.
This alone will tell you it’s a diesel car. Cars that run on fuel do have ‘Gasoline Only’ written on their fuel door.
3. The model name:
There could be a clue in the model name of the car. It is yet another easy way to identify a diesel car. A diesel powered car is likely to come with the letter ‘D’ in its model name. For example, if you see a car that has BMW 320d or Lexus IS 220d, the ‘D’ tells you it is a diesel powered car.
4. Peep into the engine:
Diesel cars have no spark plugs. The pressure from compression of diesel and air is enough to give them the ignition that a spark plug would do for petrol engine.

What does your surname says about you?

There Are 7 Types of English Surnames — Which One Is Yours? [Photo credit: Shutterstock] Many of us have surnames passed down to us from ancestors in England . Last names weren’t widely used until after the Norman conquest in 1066, but as the country’s population grew, people found it necessary to be more specific when they were talking about somebody else. Thus arose descriptions like Thomas the Baker, Norman son of Richard, Henry the Whitehead, Elizabeth of the Field, and Joan of York that, ultimately, led to many of our current surnames. There are perhaps 45,000 different English surnames , but most had their origins as one of these seven types.

Steal For Her Obviously, we all know where this will end you and by the time you will be back, someone might have taken your place.
