12 Reasons To Buy a Diesel Car

Diesel fuel is ignited by compression

One of the main differences between a petrol engine, and a diesel one, is the way these engines ignite the fuel. A petrol engine will need spark plugs to provide that initial spark that ignites the fuel. On the other hand, diesel engines use compression to ignite the fuel. This type of design reduces the number of necessary components, which indirectly reduces the maintenance costs.
