This 1984 Mercedes Benz 300SD Turbo Diesel sedan is an outstanding, rust free Califonia Car. The motor is strong and has been Fully converted to run on Vegetable Oil using professionally manufactured Elsbett German technology. The pioneering system of it's kind, Elsbett has been granted over 400 patents in the field of diesel engine technology and is the industry pioneer in Vegetable Oil technologies.
This is a ONE tank system, allowing for the use of 5 fuel types in any ratio inside the original under-car fuel tank. You can run Biodiesel, Petro-diesel, Waste Vegetable Oil, Straight (food Grade) Vegetable oil, and even up to 25% Kerosene. This system has multiple components that are unavailable elsewhere and is factory made to maintain precision parameters. In Germany, BMW and Volkswagen give full warranty on new vehicles converted with Elsbett technology. This is not hand wrapped copper tubing around a fuel filter or awkward undercar coolant lines like the domestic kits.
**100 Gallons of Professionally Filtered Vegetable Oil Free with purchase.** Jonny 608 906 1702
Vehicle: But let's start with the vehicle itself. This W126 model is renowned among Mercedes Mechanics to obtain in excess of 500,000 miles on the same motor. Intended for a lifetime of service without replacing the powertrain, this specific vehicle is excellent operationally and aesthetically. Originally a California car, it has remained within the same family since purchased new from Mercedes.
Salvage in name only. You can see pictures of the History Report - It has never been in an accident -- it was stolen in 2001 and, because it was fully insured, was considered a total insurance loss before being recovered and returned unharmed shortly after.

The Vegetable oil conversion system with warranty features:
* New Injector Tips specifically designed and professionally set to operate vegetable oil, bio-diesel or standard petro-diesel. No domestic kit offers this and without it your original injectors suffer extensive damage. .
* Eco-Tube fuel lines designed to withstand the solvent properties of Bio-diesel and grease for life. Without this, your fuel lines will invariably break down and spring leaks (typically in less than 4 months).
* A super efficient coolant fed heat exchanger.
* A professional fuel filter with electronically controlled fuel band heater.
* Longer running, hotter glow plugs.
* A coolant temperature indicator to regulate the system and keep it operating at ideal temperature for both vegetable oil and diesel fuels - regardless of outside temperature.
The system is warrantied by both the manufacturer and myself for defects. In the unlikely event something warranty related arises I will inspect the vehicle and be your liason to the company and make things as smooth as possible for you. I want you to have a great grease experience - I won't quit until your vehicle works as it should.
So remember, this is a one tank system. There's no messy second grease tank in the trunk. No starting or purging on diesel. There's no smell of french fries and cooked chicken seeping in through your backseat. Unlike all other systems, everything from the fuel lines to injectors are designed specifically with grease and bio-diesel in mind. This is a system made to last as long as the vehicle itself.
Things I should point out:
- The passenger front fender has some dings shown in available pictures.
- The rear driver side window does not go down. I intend to fix this prior to finalizing the sale.
- The front passenger seat has a rip. Although the seats are made of durable leather material, I would be happy to find you some good, comfortable seat-covers for the front seats.
- There are small crack in the left side of the dash which is otherwise even and looks new.
- Some of the underside exhaust pipe has superficial rust not affecting performance.
- Slower off the line than gas or even direct injected diesel engines, This is not a getaway car. But try to get one of those to run in excess of half a million miles with no trouble.

Just want to say a word of caution about Lovecraft kits.
Actually, let me let everyone else caution you. A five minute google search will yield much more than I've provided - I certainly have not cherry picked these links.

The "kit" amounts to a heater and a filter. I am committed to representing my field in the best way possible - I want all those running WVO to have success regardless of whether you purchase from me or not. Don't waste money on crappy kits that haven't updated injectors or heating system.
