When petrol is used in diesel engine, the engine will not work as gasoline (petrol) has high ignition temperature and therefore has to be ignited by spark-ignition. Diesel engine on the other hand works on the principal of self-ignition in compressed fuel which is not possible with petrol.

When diesel is used in petrol engine, there will be sudden combustion in the fuel due to spark ignition  bcoz diesel has low ignition temperature. This will lead to high knocking, which is absolutely undesirable.

The compression ratio of petrol engine is 10:1 to 14:1 and for diesel engine is 16:1 to 22:1. If petrol is poured in diesel engine a blast may happen at this high compression ratio. So we cant use pe...

Stress is restoring force developed in the body due to any tensile, compressive or any other force per unit area and on the other hand pressure is force applied on a body per unit area.

Brother as you said, but in some cases like in wall, eg. we are pressure applied on the wall it is also a scalar quantity.....so, how would we say pressure is only applied in case of fluid..

1. Pressure applied on fluid (Gas & Liquid) where as stress applied on solid.
2. Pressure act perpendicular only where stress act perpendicular as well as inclined also.
3. Pressure is only +ve magnitude but stress have both +ve and -ve.
4. Pressure is external force and stress is internal force
