Answer: Ignition-type, compression-ignition-type. Both diesel and gasoline engines are engines in which combustion occurs inside the cylinder. Diesel engines use non-volatile diesel as fuel and operate on a compression-ignition principle. This is because the flash point of diesel is between 67–80°C, and its ignition point is between 98–125°C. Relying on the sparks generated by the spark plugs in the engine, it is difficult to reach temperatures above 98°C in a short period of time; it is rather hard for the sparks from the spark plugs to ignite diesel. However, the auto-ignition temperature of diesel is lower than that of gasoline, at around 330°C, and it also decreases as pressure increases. Taking advantage of this property of diesel, by increasing the compression ratio of the diesel engine, air and diesel are compressed and heated inside the cylinder (to temperatures of 450–750°C), which lowers their auto-ignition point and thus enables the diesel engine to ignite on its own. It also uses compression ignition, eliminating the need for a complex ignition system. Therefore, diesel engines currently all use compression ignition. A gasoline engine is an engine that uses gasoline as fuel and operates on the ignition principle. This is because the flash point of gasoline is generally between -20 and -40°C, its ignition point is below 12°C, while its autoignition point is between 400 and 500°C. From the values of gasoline’s flash point, ignition point, and auto-ignition point, it can be seen that at very low temperatures, gasoline can be easily ignited with just a small spark; it is quite difficult for it to ignite on its own. Therefore, gasoline engines typically use spark ignition.
