I've heard that the Mercedes Benz W123 model diesel engine, particularly in the 1985 year is one of the best diesels built. Is there any reason for this, more specific than it just runs well? Is it particularly suited for wvo?

Here's the Wikipedia page on the Mercedes W123:

"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."
