This may have been discussed already but I could not find it. Does anybody know if his conversion can be done?
It has come up in a few threads but nobody has said ant more than suggested it as an option. With the increasing cost of fuel I think this may be a good option against LPG for my 2.1 stock engine.
Any thoughts?

if you can find the engine at a cheap enough price is the main stumbling block! there is some threads out there about doing it think there more yank ones tho!

There was one thread (maybe on Samba but i cant remember) where a guy had bought a brand new diesel boxer engine and was sticking it in his van. Not seen anything of it since but it was very intruiging.
Think it was HarryMan that posted a link to it....

Search samba for "Pastis, the ultimate subaru diesel vanagon" or something like that.
It's the EE20 engine btw.

I found an informative thread at

As you read through it, it gets quite complicated and then RJ engineering inStaffordshire just make it sound so easy.
We'll see.
