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 ๐Ÿ˜…

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

Who gets their frying fat in a box?

Every restaurant I've seen with a fryer installed. Jugs don't stack well, everything comes in boxes at the production level.

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
