Not what he was asking at all...........

Yeah I am interested in this also. I want to get rid of my 350k TB42 and replace it with a TD42T. What is the work involved?

I know the alternator on a diesel is different.. why the fuel tank?? Isn't it the same 'fuel storage container' as petrol?

thats kinda my point, its one less thing he will have to worry about doing.


if your getting a complete engine, then the only things i can think of that need changing is wiring. like depending on the engine you may need a glowplug warning light etc
