does anyone know of such a conversion being done before. Miller will produce and sell the 302 as a diesel variant but not the air pak. I'm considering finding a pre owned diesel and swapping some parts out. Or do you think I'm completely mad?
Full load RPM? Diesel versus Gas engines Miller is using. Belt drive rotary screw AC; drive for gas engine versus diesel?
Doing some quick guesswork the rpm would be lower Which would lower the cfm of the compressor, but the torque from the diesel would (more guesswork) turn it, with a change in pulley sizes to match the speed required.
I would like to have somthing like that. If you do one take a lot of pictures along the way.
I dislike gas I dislike carrying an extra can of the stuff I dislike the noise But, my Airpak is not quite a year old and tearing the thing in half seems a little savage. Even if the end result would be way better... assuming I can pull it off
Don't think youll gain anything worth mentioning other than carrying different fuel. You have an EFI engine now?
I agree and gas engine replacement cost is $2K or under. Engine Noise Diesel Gas
