If that *really* was the case, then there'd be no need to make internal
engine components for diesel engines any stronger than petrol ones. The
fact
that they do tells you that a diesel engine is under *way* more stress
during it's operation than a petrol engine is on average, and that
"stress"
comes from compressing and firing the mixture of air & fuel.
A diesel engine is, in effect, similar to a petrol engine which is
detonating, and that's why they're noisy. Firing the engine by compressing
the air & fuel to the point where it gets hot enough to fire is *far* more
severe an action than firing it with a spark.
The "coffee plunger" theory is funny though :)
