Greasecar installation manual for '91 300D

an Anonymous Greaser - Sunday, August 10, 2008 - 01:49 Tags: links inline

folk,
i bought an older used Greasecar system that came out of VW Jettta. I plan to install it in my '91 MB 300D.
i contacted Greasecar to buy the installation manual, they will not sell it to me since i am not the original owner.

does anyone on this list have a copy of the installation manual and will be willing to send me a soft copy?

again, the car is 91 300D.

thanks

"On this Blog you'll be able to follow my progress on the conversion of a 1976 model W123 Mercedes to run on unmodified vegetable oil (UVO), or waste vegetable oil (WVO). I'll post stuff and upload some pics to show you how to do this yourself on your own vehicle :) [...]

Why a 300D Benz?

The W123 model Mercedes Benz is widely considered as the most bullet-proof and reliable Benz models ever made. Around the world, stories of these cars reaching 500,000km are commonplace. A million km on the clock hardly raises an eyebrow. All W123s are a tribute to Mercedes Benz engineering, and their diesel engines in particular, are legendary."

"This my first post here in this great forums. I'd like to share with you the steps of the conversion a mercedes 300D 1981.

The whole idea started when I joined the OZBENZ forums where I met Tony and Bruce. They have offered to be at help for not only me but anyone wanting to become a SVO used.

I bought the following parts for the conversion ...

20 Plate Heat exchanger -eBay/Tony.
CAV filter - eBay.
Pollak fuel valve eBay.
Brackets, aluminium angle and bolts - Bunnings warehouse.
Blumbing fittings - ENZED

Still more but not much to buy

Here is a photo of things so far."

I can't get my water pump to circulate

an Anonymous Greaser - Tuesday, March 13, 2007 - 20:29 Tags: links inline

I have a Mercedes 300SD that I am in the middle of a conversion on. We have the radiant heat system installed with the hose within a hose set-up. My WVO tank in in the trunk. For some reason the hot coolant is not circulating back to the tank. There are no kinks or other obvious blockages.

Anybody got any ideas?

Hello, Sucking air

an Anonymous Greaser - Monday, December 11, 2006 - 20:55 Tags: links inline

Hi all. This is a cool website. Drupal rocks. Our website, http://www.nashvillebiodiesel.org , is drupal powered.

My two tank system is somehow sucking air. When i floor it going up a hill, It will die sometimes. It happens on both sides of the switching valve. So it must be after the valve. I tightened every hose clamp on a fuel line i could. I replaced the primer pump with a new one of the new type. It did not help, it started leaking while pumping the first use, and it will not suck through the filter hardly at all and is virtually worthless. I was wondering if this could be the lift pump going out on me ? My next move is to put a bottle of fuel under hood for a tank and see what happens. If i still have the problem, what could it be ?

cheers,

biopete

Power loss in 300d using WVO

an Anonymous Greaser - Saturday, September 9, 2006 - 16:10 Tags: links inline

Trying to find out why my 300d loses power after it has been running for a few hours on highway traffic. Have been adding WVO directly to the tank this summer, maybe not well filtered, but have drained the tank and have been running on pure diesel for a half tank when it happened again. Have replaced fuel filter and while there was clearly some carbon bits from the fryer oil, it wasn't too bad. Thought maybe the lift pump, or possibly injectors are fouled, but once the car cools, it seems to run okay again.
Anyone had a simialr experinece?

"Here I am with my lovely 1985 300d SVO Daily Driver. I got a lot of help for this project from the owner of Greasel.com who was very friendly and extremely helpful. I used the fuel return loop instead of the normal Fuel return."

Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) Conversion on a 92 Mercedes 300D

an Anonymous Greaser - Thursday, July 27, 2006 - 08:52 Tags: links inline

"This website provides conversion details for a specific car and specific conversion kit. It is meant to supplement the Greasecar.com instructions. There are also some links to good general information about conversions. This conversion information should work for a 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993 Mercedes 300D. I decided to do a 15 gallon square tank in the trunk. This is so I can keep the spare tire. I converted this car while I had a second car and then sold the other car. You could do the conversion while it's your only car if you plan really well and do it in stages and on weekends."
