This is my veggie car, a 1987 Mercedes 300SDL. It is a well built, solid ride, with more legroom than the predecessor 300sd and a Straight 6 diesel engine. I have a single tank "conversion".
My veggie mods are:
1. FPHE
2. Raw Power Fuel Pump
3. Injection Line Heaters
4. Monark Injector tips
I live in Northern California, where the ambient temps rarely go below 30 and I use well processed/cleaned veggie oil, so that really opens up the possibilities of conversion configurations. I don't need a heated tank, heated lines, etc. Also, I only use non-hydrogenated oil.
Most of the time I don't even know I'm running on veggie. I get the occasional whiff, but it's as if I'm driving








I often peruse Craigslist, looking for the occasional post for WVO. The other day, I caught a post from a place nearby that had 14 cubies of non-hydrogenated oil needing pickup. I called up right away and was excited that the oil was still available. "Will it fit in your car?...I'll make it fit!!" He wanted .50/gallon which is fair for quality oil in the cubie. The restaurant produces about 4 cubies a week, plenty for me. I showed up on time, handed him a card and told him I wanted to be a regular pickup. He said I could do that, or I will be the first person he calls. I left feeling a bit, insecure about my new source. It is a 40 minute drive from my house, so I will feel out the need/want to lock it down over the next few weeks. I haven't done a contract before, but this source may be worth locking down...that is if the restaurant owner is willing. See a sample contract
