These two words are very different. Sin means without while sino means but (rather).

Me enamoré sin quererlo. - I fell in love without wanting it.

No quiero ir por tren, sino por avion - I don't want to go by train, but rather by airplane.

At first I thought that you had made a typo, because the usual question is "What is the difference between si no and sino?".

Could you give us some example sentences where you don't know which one to use as they are really not that closely related to each other?

sino

sin
