Hi All,

I am considering converting my Mercedes 1976 240D and had many questions. I will start with the ones that come to mind first:

(1) I heard that Merecedes pre-1980 used rubber seals in the engine and that VO might wear down these seals faster (ie. lowering life expectancy of engine). Is this an issue I should be concerned about?

"Its been a long week. But many projects have been completed. Most importantly a couple days ago we finished converting my uncles 240D 4Spd. It now has a two tank system using his stock tank as the grease tank with a 6 gallon fuel cell in the trunk for diesel. The system cost was fairly low considering time forced us to buy quite a few expensive fittings that we could have found much cheaper if we had the time. Here is brief system overview:"
