MB300D power problems

I recently read that the fuel filters on diesel -- and especially waste vegetable oil biodiesel -- tend to clog up; diesel type fuels being much thicker that gasoline.

This poster suggested that you learn how to replace your own filters, and carry spare filters with you always. This might help you get more power out of it. These models weren't particularly powerful anyways. I mean the speedometer only goes up to 80mph!

Cheers,
