I've had my 2.1 petrol converted to a 1.6 diesel to try and beat Mr Brown's attempt to price us off the road!

Does anyone know the difference between a petrol and diesel Ebberspatcher? Are there any internal parts that could be changed to make it run on diesel or is it a completely different unit?

Can anyone point me in the direction of an ebber expert? Someone suggested that I fit a small petrol tank somewhere, just to run the heater. But I'd rather keep it tidy and run it off the main tank if possible.
Cheers

Should have gone for LPG,Diesel prices are only going up and up(even more so than petrol)
(having opened can of worms stands well back )
In answear to you question sell the petrol eber and fit an airtronic diesel one they won't convert.-try contacting Spannerrack he sometimes has them available for a good price.
The seperate tank for your petrol one is the best option-I have done it the otherway arround(diesel eber in a petrol van) and it works well.

yup i'd go for a separate fuel tank/can , or sell the petrol one and get a diesel one
a plastic can will fit in the spare wheel , just
btw what did ya do with the 2.1 ?

It`s not the neatest way of doing it, but a seperate petrol tank will be cheaper than either trying to mod the Eber you`ve got, or selling it and finding a diesel one.

Maximus on here has done just what you`ve done, it will cost you as no-one seems to want petrol Ebers at any sort of money, IrishKeet sold one last week for around £25 complete
It`ll cost you £200 - £300 to source and fit a newer type diesel one.

£25 ! Gutted, I'm after a petrol eber!

It was offered on here and Brickyard before Ebay. (not for 25 quid though)

thanks all
I've had a quick look and my local boat shack has all the bits I need for a second tank.
Cheers

(T'onion - the engine was changed in Hanover before the van got to me. Sorry. Apparently it went like a rocket but needed a fuel tank the size of an E-Type jag to get anywhere!)
