Can you convert a gas engine into a diesel?
It would definitely not be possible to convert a gas engine into a diesel engine because the cylinder block and head would not be strong enough. A diesel engine needs a much higher compression ratio than a gas engine, which means the gas engine's cylinder block and cylinder head would probably explode under the higher pressure. You would have to change so many things: * the crankshaft, to get a longer piston stroke, because the compression ratio for gas is much lower than for diesel; * the connecting rods and pistons * the cylinder head and camshaft to get the right valves and holes for diesel fuel injectors instead of spark plugs * the fuel injectors and fuel pump - and maybe the tank too, to get the right vents and filler cap for diesel instead of gas * the exhaust system to get the right catalytic converter for diesel * the gears in the gearbox to get the right gear ratios to suit a diesel engine * diesel does not use any spark plugs so you would have be sure to use a safe method to disable the high voltage ignition system (which supplies sparks for gas ignition) and replace it by the right kind of electronic engine management unit to control the diesel fuel injectors * etc. In short, it would not make sense to try to do it from a cost point of view. You could perhaps buy a reconditioned diesel engine made to go in the same model of car, but, unless you could fit it yourself along with all the other bits and pieces, it would be far cheaper just to buy a secondhand diesel model of your vehicle and sell your present gas model.
What percentage of gasoline to diesel would still be considered safe diesel fuel?
Zero, do not mix gasoline and diesel together unless you have a lot of money and like to fix things. For more information see the answer to the Related Questionshown below.
Will having seven liters of petrol in my diesel 2002 Mondeo ruin the engine even though I have diluted it with 46 liters of diesel fuel?
I would recommend draining the entire fuel system and re-filling it with pure diesel. I do know some guys that add a gallon or two of gasoline to their diesel trucks, meaning big rig semi's, in the winter for easier starting, however their truck's fuel tanks have a 50 gallon capacity. Diesel is a lubricant as well as a fuel. Running gasoline, or a high mixture of gasoline WILL cause SERIOUS damage to a diesel engine. So my advice would be to get it out. To add a different perspective, the Mercedes manual for the older Mercedes cars says you can safely run up to 30% regular gasoline mixed in your diesel fuel - mostly for winter, as stated above. Most diesels would be safe at near this level of mix. But at the ratios mentioned in the question looks like only a 15% mix. This should be safe, especially as a one time deal. As you run some out, just add more diesel when you can. Much better than wasting the 46 liters of fuel! Don't panic. Add a couple ounces of 2 stroke oil if it makes you feel better.
Can a petrol engine run on lean air-fuel ratio such as 30 by 1 while a diesel engine can?
No, the perfect fuel/air ratio is 14.6 to 1. A ratio of 13 to 1 is a safe ratio for most non turbo gas engines. Turbo engines can run a 12 to 1 ratio. Chrysler's lean burn system of the 70's and 80's used a ratio of around 18 to 1 and it was horrible. No gasoline engine can run at 30 to 1.

Why would Engine coolant leak when starting engine?
if it only leaks during starting then thats really strange. but if you have a leak some where, then when you turn engine over it will turn water pump that will pressurize engine. if it leaks while running the engine then be careful and try to find source of the leak, it is most likely a bad seal, having bad seals is really really bad, it could leak into oil, not good for lubrication, find the source of your leak, or if its small enough leak, then put some stop leak threw it i wouldnt trust it farther than you can throw it, but if it works then i would suggest replacing all of your coolant to be on the safe side

Is it safe to drive a car with a fuel line leak to a mechanic?
It is not safe to drive a vehicle with a fuel leak, but if this is the only way to get it to be fixed, be careful that the leak is not that bad if you drive it. A trickle is bad, any more than that and driving it would not be advised.
