I'm no expert, but I'd look into the fuel delivery, too. Diesels
work by high compression igniting the charge; the fuel delivery
to the intake manifold may need higher pressure than gasoline fuel
injection.  That may mean a new fuel pump, new fuel distributor,
and/or a new tank. Just thinking out loud, as I don't know for sure.
