How is diesel different from gasoline?

While diesel and gasoline are both derived from oil, they work in two different ways and are not interchangeable. Diesel fuel is designed to operate in a diesel engine, where it is injected into compressed, high-temperature air in the combustion chamber and ignites spontaneously. This differs from gasoline, which is ignited in a gasoline engine by the spark plugs.
