Hello,
I produce biodiesel and plan to convert a car engine that works with gas to
diesel. I plan to use diesel injectors, instead of spark plugs. I know the
compression ratio is different, but I wonder if it works or not. Any idea
about it..?

HELLOW MR FRIEND,
YES U CAN CONVERT YOUR PETROL ENGINES TO DIESEL INJECTION MODE,
BUT LIFE OF PISTON ,RINGS, SLEEVES WILL BE LESS,
DONT WOREY ABOUT COMPRESION RATIOS AS WOOD GAS WORKES ON LOWCOMPRESION RATIOS.
U CAN DO IT YOURSELF,

The ratio is REALLY different, and thus a diesel head and block are built
much heavier. The early (oil crisis response) atrocious GM diesel failures
(which are probably responsible for why AMericans don't drive diesel cars)
were essentially a gasoline 350 with a diesel head. They aren't around
of injector pumps,
and timing. You would be father ahead to find a diesel engine.

This is not so. The 5.7 liter Olds diesel was a new engine from the
ground
up. It shared external dimensions with other V-8 GM engines, but NONE of
the
internal parts are interchangeable.

Hello
This is the FAQ about gas engine convertion in my country specially with
those WW II old military Jeeps or old trucks and the way people has deal
with it is the following:
They sell the gasoline engine with the gearbox or get rid of them, then
they buy an used japanese diesel engine

and I am happy that I am not the only foreigner with this.
It is some differences between English and Americans on
stick with converting it to E85 or NG.

Dear Ozan:
As you mentioned, the engine compression ratios is going to be a problem.
The compression of gasoline engine is around 9 to 1, and the diesel engine
is around 20 to1. The modifications to change would be extensive, and
expensive. I am
. For all practical purposes they just modified a gas engine to be a
diesel.

Thanks alot for your info about converting gasoline
engine to diesel engine. As a review; finding a diesel
engine instead of converting is better...
