The Car Needs Petrol Because?

Car engines burn fuel in cylinders. When the fuel burns the air in the cylinders expands. The expanding air pushes down on a piston. The piston pushes down on a crankshaft. Then the piston comes back up. The piston going down and up makes the crankshaft rotate. This rotating motion is transferred to the wheels of the car. That pushes the car along. Thus the fuel burning in the cylinders pushes the pistons. Without Petrol to burn in the cylinders, the pistons would not push the crankshaft. It would not make the wheels move.


What do cylinders mean for the amount of gas?

Can you put a use piston in?

no no no no no, and once again to solidify my point, no! as the engine is used your pistons, and cylinder walls wear in a certain pattern, and they have a different level of wear from car to car, what you have to do generally is send the motor to a machinist to bore the cylinders out slightly, then get new oversized pistons
