This black ‘land shark’ will run on wvo, svo, biodiesel or diesel. An ‘electric fuel preheater/spin-on-filter unit’ allows for a one tank system that keeps things simple for the driver. Put in ‘clean’ oil and go!

This classic turbo diesel runs great! My mechanic completely serviced the engine and AC. All fuel lines, hose and break lines and drive belts are new. The gas tank was removed and cleaned. Power sunroof, tinted windows and seats work smoothly. WVO conversion, upgrades and service receipts total $3600.

It has been driven over 3000 miles on 150 gallons of wvo. I have made several filter changes. It can be done in 15 minutes and the filters cost around fifteen dollars. I will include one extra fuel filter and fifty gallons clean wvo for the next driver!

I'm a beginner at conversions and cars in general, but I'm looking to convert a car to diesel as sort of a summer project. I turn 15 this summer and get my permit and I really wanted to skip the whole $3.25 / gallon of gas/diesel deal and go straight to W.V.O. I have my parents permission to do this conversion as long as if it doesn't work out i have to pay the diesel prices. I have several questions/concerns that i need to have answered before i begin this:

1. What car is the best for conversions? Mercedes?? (not SUV or Truck)
2. Should I get a kit or is it easier from scratch?
3. Whats the deal with high mileage? in other words: How many mile will a diesel engine run?
4. What are the most important things to remember when I'm buying the car?
5. What are the most important things to remember when I'm converting the car?
6....

and anything else that I need to know before I begin.

Thanks.

I want to convert my 1987 Mercedes 300TDT diesel wagon to run WVO using a two-tank system, but I don't want to sacrifice the space in the rear of my station wagon. I'd like to install a WVO tank in either the spare wheel well or in the space occupied by the folding third seat (the space should fit a 14 gallon tank). Is anyone aware of a WVO tank in the shape of a either 1) spare tire but works in the vertical position or 2) a tank that could fit in the space used for the third seat cushion(approx. 34 inches x 14 inches x 7 inches)? thanks

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?

"Vegetable oil fuel tank being built. The internal pipe-work can heat solid palm oil for burning in the engine. Vegetable oil has to be heated to about 80 degrees C to attain similar viscosities to everyday road diesel. Once this temp has been achieved the fuel tanks can be switched over from normal diesel to vegetable oil."

"In April, my good long friend Bovie turned me on to a new idea that is making a movement into becoming free from the oil economy we're living in--Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) in cars. I vowed to never pay over $2.00/gal for gas back in 2003, and had to reclutantly eat my words. Well I said it again for $3.00/gal back in Sept 2005, managing to pay 2.72 at the highest peak. Well this time, no Katrina, no opec, just the plain facts that as long as people demand oil, the companies providing it will jack up thier prices. In April I noticed that 3.00/gal was coming back soon, and I really did not want to eat my words again. So Thanks to bovie, and the guys over at http://www.greaseon.com/ , I started the search. [...]

So there ya go. I'm now %98 free from the oil economy. Sure every 3000miles or so I need to use some petrol-oil for my car, but every day driving is now free. or at least more free than it was before. And within 10-12 months (perhaps less if I go on road trips this summer) it will have paid itself off financially. Not to mention I now know how to work on my 300SD!"

"I will search out and post MercedesShop thread links on Biodiesel, WVO and SVO here. Feel free to add any you know of."
