How do I convert my 8 cylinder Jeep from Natural Gas to running on BioDiesel?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Well I'm afraid the engine you have currently will have to be replaced with a deisel engine once you do that you will have to buy a converter kit which can run you from $500

Answer 3

I would not change from natural gas to bio diesel.

Plus you can't.

A car that runs on natural gas is basically a standard gasoline car.

To use Bio diesel you must have a diesel engine.

Not to mention natural gas is cheaper than bio diesel.

Answer 4

Put in a diesel engine.

Answer 5

If the engine is a diesel engine then it is a simple as filling with Bio Diesel and re tuning the injection timing for efficient combustion.

If it is a petrol engine then it is probably not going to run on a compression fuel.

Also, if it is a diesel engine you should use a fuel conditioner with the Bio Fuel to replace to low lubricating qualities of Bio Fuels.

Hope this has been some help.

Answer 6

For one, if it is running on CNG keep it!  Natural gas is cleaner and least expensive per mile in fuel cost.  Since it is a Jeep you should have plenty of room underneath to add a 2nd tank to extend your range if you choose.

If you have your heart set on biodiesel, sell the CNG Jeep and buy a diesel.  Don't even consider an engine swap.

Did you buy that Jeep that way, or did you do the conversion yourself?
