ECMs use large scale integrated circuits that are usually embedded in epoxy. They do not contain discrete transistors and are generally not designed to be serviced.
You can convert a petrol engine into a diesel engine by changing the fuel injectors. The fuel filters will also need to be changed.
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.
There isn't a 5.7L Hemi diesel.
The main difference between a diesel and a steam engine is the diesel engine is an internal combustion and the steam engine is external combustion.
Rudolph Diesel.
if its electronic pump and injectors it will self bleed, if not electronic u need to drag it to get the diesel round the pipes, get someone to tow u round the block and bump it.
what it will do is damage your injectors unless u take it right to a mechanic to get the injectors cleaned

Diesel additive cleans the injectors, therefore the engine is cleaner, giving a better performance.
Gasoline will not dissolve the carbon deposits that clog the injectors but it will cause your engine to not start.
Loosen the injector lines at the injectors not the pump then crank the engine till there is fuel at the injectors then retighten the lines.
it has a little handpump to priam diesel back to injectors under the bonnet
it gets hot, and ignites the diesel fuel that is injected by the fuel injectors.
Turn down the fuel getting to the injectors.
Diesel and kerosene are quite close chemically. Kerosene has some heavier paraffins and would clog the injectors of a diesel engine.
It will dirty the injectors a bit and run very rough,if at all. Still, not as bad as putting petrol into a diesel engine .
GAS OR DIESEL?
