Will be expensive

You could always have a petrol supply tank for it, but it`s a bit of a faff having dual-fuel
Try for a swapper? petrol Eber in exchange for a diesel one, someone may have done a diesel to petrol engine swap?

well done on the superior choice of engine!.. now you can spend the weekends "driving" and "camping" instead of rolling round under the van replacing and repairing things. and think of the extra power, and the money you will save on fuel costs!! a wise move.

Thanks Weaz, Can't wait that's what's realy stopping me going far and wide its heavy on juice and its a bit smelly(tired engine) having it fitted in Jan so summer should be mega! Its going to skin me cash wise but like you say 'in the long run' I should see the positives
