Need to know the difference between a diesel engine and gas engine?

Replying to [juanjuan2]:the difference in the two engines is like daylight and dark,a gas engine has to have an ignition source to ignite the fuel,as to a diesel doesn't have to have an ignition system,if fires off of compression,and the sound you hear from a diesel is because of the valves in them,and the way they fire,you cant ever get rid of the sound of one of those,but on a gas engine ,changing a muffler changes the way it sounds,but it doesn't work that way on a diesel engine,they will always sound like that, no matter what you do to them,good luck hope this helps.

Replying to [juanjuan2]:The main difference is that a diesel engine does not have spark plugs. It ignites the diesel fuel purely by the heat generated during compression.
Diesels have a unique sound. Modern diesels are getting quieter, but they still sound different that gassers.

Replying to [juanjuan2]:'first. gasoline has spark plug,not diesel.
gasoline admit, through intake, amix of air and gas.
diesel compress air only,and inject directilly to the combustion chamber the fuel.
there is many truck,all makes ,that use diesel .
and the last question, no there is not way to make it sound "regular' if is not from factory.

Replying to [juanjuan2]:In theory, diesel engines and gasoline engines are quite similar. They are both internal combustion engines designed to convert the chemical energy available in fuel into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy moves pistons up and down inside cylinders. The pistons are connected to a crankshaft, and the up-and-down motion of the pistons, known as linear motion, creates the rotary motion needed to turn the wheels of a car forward.
Both diesel engines and gasoline engines covert fuel into energy through a series of small explosions or combustions. The major difference between diesel and gasoline is the way these explosions happen. In a gasoline engine, fuel is mixed with air, compressed by pistons and ignited by sparks from spark plugs. In a diesel engine, however, the air is compressed first, and then the fuel is injected. Because air heats up when it's compressed, the fuel ignites.
