Power Loss in a 300D

I ran into the same issue with my Mercedes last weekend. I have yet to try running in on veggie again because I figured it was one of the filters. I have an separate electric fuel pump for my veggie system and it seems to be working fine. I am curious to find out how you make out and if you come to any conclusions. You can email me with any comments or questions @ Eastcoastsk8ing@comcast.net

My car was slowing down at highway speeds as if the filter were cloged, but the filter only has about 200 miles on it and the oil should be good filtered down with a 5/1 micron bag filter. Maybe I need to filter it with a nominal 1 micron bag after? Water in the oil, not letting it settle long enough?
