my co-worker was talking about converting his Mazda MPV (gas) to something greener, and he asked me if you could convert a gas engine to veggie. Since I had no idea, I am deferring to the experts for the correct answer.

the answer is NO

diesel and wvo/svo combust under compression. gasoline combusts under compression but with the introduction of a spark. gasoline engines do not create enough compression to combust diesel/wvo/svo

Thanks for the quick response, so I guess I just have to tell him to go buy a deli, and he'll find all sorts of help with converting, if it isn't done already!!

subtlety has it's place, and that's not in my marketing :)
