A good CI fuel like diesel oil requires high self-ignition temperature when it is used in SI engines which are not achieved in SI engine due to this unburnt fuel particles are left inside the engine block so it is not a good fuel for SI engines.
Similarly, a good SI fuel like petrol requires a high self-ignition temperature to avoid knocking before normal combustion occurs.
And for CI engine, a low self-ignition temperature is required as it starts combustion by the only compression.
So, statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.Last updated on May 28, 2025
