Why bother when a conventional diesel will run fine on drain oil, ATF or 
waste cooking oil, all of which places CHARGE you to dispose of? You may find 
problems in refueling LG in some areas of the country, and that can restrict your 
travel. Its no fun at all to sit in a closed LG refueling station, waiting for 
morning so an attendant can unlock the pump..... Normally a turbo is added to 
LG conversions to regain power lost with low-output LG, but adding a turbo to 
a conventional diesel will blow your mind with the way it performs. The 
biggest problem with 15 psi boost (2X power boost) is with stock head bolts; they 
stretch and pop head gaskets but ARP makes better bolts.   Our turbo-diesel 
towtruck patches all 4 rear tires under boost and get 15 mpg with a trailer 
behind. Talk to Gale Banks for the real scoop on the choices you have with diesel. 
Good luck- J Deryke
