Re: repower to diesel
I would think that twin diesels would be great. As for fuel systems being compatable, as long as there are no galvanized parts in the fuel system you should be good to go. Diesels will run on just about any fuel with a thick consistancy. Diesels will run on karosene (sp), diesel fuel, cooking oil, trans fluid, hydraulic fluid, motor oil, and even if some gas is mixed in they will still run. The big killer would be alge in the tanks, but that can be killed by adding some biocide that is regularly available at auto stores and other chain stores. There may be some rewiring that needs to be done as diesel engines usually require much less wiring, and some can be run while completly submirged in water (as long as the intake and exhaust are clear to free surface).<br /><br />have fun on the repower, just keep in mind a converted gas bot will not ever have the value of a factory diesel boat, even if the two are exact twins in all other regards.
