Does any one know how hard (expensive) would be to convert a propane engine (model 940) to run on diesel?. I have a couple of the diesel ones (model 401) and don�t know much about the propane engines.
If it is not worth doing it can some parts be used on the diesel engine? (heads, starter, radiator ?)

I think it would be a lot eaiser to convert Diesel to propane. Today would be a problem to get the right carb and reg. Back when I bought a new 1960 940Lp we had to change the venture to a bigger one to get the rated HP out of it. We are at 4400 hundred ft.

I have all 3 fuels here, I do know that the diesels have heavier rods in them compared to spark engines. Obiously you would have to change heads, get different intake manifold,(exhaust may be the same) add an injector pump, change fuel tanks, add diesel fuel filters..... .that's all I can think of at the moment, maybe someone else will add to the list. I prefer propane myself & wouldn't think of ever converting a propane, maybe a gas to propane but not the other way but I still wanted all 3 fuels in 930's
