Do a search for Diesel conversion, lots of info and it has been done many times. However, with the cost of the swap and the skill level needed you may be better off getting a second car that gets better mileage and using your Jeep for Fun.

The swap is quite involved and WVO is not always easy to find, secure a source first, now people pay restaurants for oil.

Working on my Waggy 4BT swap now, well not really, it has been sitting in the garage untouched for months, gota get back on it.

Drove the diesel CJ into NYC again tonight though.
