    Not that hard to change a car to gasoline if it was already running on diesel.

    Is almost a good analogy, but that’s not so easy 😅

      Frying fat would have been better, because most older diesels run on it out of the box.

      Well it did take awhile, but it’s definitely easier than turning a horse into an electric car

      just have to replace the engine, how hard could it be? /s

      better analogy would be converting a (relatively modern) gas engine to E85, it’s simpler, from what i understand

        Yep, but to be fair, he’s not an expert in archaeology, so probably he didn’t realise.
