  1. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Jeep Wagoneer that came from the factory with a diesel motor.

  2. If you are going to run already pure biodiesel, what you are really concerned about is the attack of rubber parts in the fuel system by the fuel, the biodiesel will eat up old style rubber parts but new rubber (viton) seals and teflon hoses or all metal fuel lines are impervious.

    So any newer diesel (don’t know the exact year on Jeeps, sorry, but after 2002 should be OK) should be already fine, any older ones are going to need hoses, fuel lift pumps, possibly an injector pump rebuild ($$ maybe 400 $$) and proably a few fuel filter changes, the biodiesel will clean all the old sludge out of the tank and it will clog a few filters until it is all gone.

  3. If you are serious visit the website I believe the website owner has at least two diesels and one is a bio…
    he is an engineer and could answer any question you have. especially about Jeep wagoneers… I think a few of the guys in teh forums have diesels…

    Good luck
