Yup - it has injector line heaters. The fellow I bought this from has a son in college who actually owned the car. He rigged it up (nicely from what I can see) to run WVO on a single tank system, but learned that collecting and processing oil is hard work, so not much was consumed by this car. I went thru the same drill with my 1980 300TD (nearly a year of setting the car up for WVO, added a marine grade water seperator, electric fuel pump at the tank, etc, etc) - but then couldn't find a source for the oil. So I gave up and just ran dino-diesel.

I am going to remove the fuel line heaters, but leave in the accessory fuel pump. I'll also probably drain and clean the fuel tank and it's screen filter (I assume it has one just like my W123 did).
