Gas engines typically operate at lower temperatures than diesel engines due to differences in their combustion processes and design. While gas engines usually run with thermostats set around 180-200°F (82-93°C), diesel engines often operate at higher temperatures of 200-210°F (93-99°C). This temperature difference is primarily ...
