wvo question sorry

what is the absolute best car for WVO long distance driving..

Hi, I'm a french Canadian that moved to the Philippines.. please forgive me if my English isnt UK perfect....

since i reside in a country where it is 30c + daily.. i figured i can run any diesel car on wvo without any conversion.. i WANTED a 83 mercedes 200D but the AC was broken and so was the lift pump.. so i figured .. i can find better... wanted a toyota Fortuner it is a big suv that runs on diesel... or how about the mercedes smart fortwo cdi... the first model that ever came to Canada.. i heard it was diesel and a buddy of mine drove from Montreal to Florida and spent only 19$ on fuel to warm up the wvo.. but.. alot of Quebecers are full of *****.. so im asking some of you slightly more educated than myself for your advise.. i am aware that i will need alot of spare filters ( the kind that have a water separastor) in my car to replace them on the go.. and something called BIO-kleen.. to eliminae growth or stuff.. but with the tempeature here, i can just poor it straight into the fuel tank like mythbusters.. and just go.. driving on deep fried chicken oil (although.. it wont be vegetable oil per say.. it will be used coconut oil and used palm oil)


but i found out that common rail is n bueno for wvo.. and DI is also no good.. leaves me with IDI... and i think they used an old 300D on mythbusters..
it is a 5cyl inline.. IDI i believe.. so.. what year of the 300D is the last IDI ? i want something as recent as possible.. i had to swap the umm cardan in Montreal on a 93 ford probe gt.. the metal stick between transmission and front right wheel... it was so seized it took me 3 days to yank it out.. rust...




sooo.. 84 mercedes 300D is the perfect one ???(or is there a later model year ???) i want to run my motor to power my AC on boat rides between the 8000 islands of the Philippines.. and not worry about burning expensive petrol

i did find a 84 300D with an OM602 engine set at a ridiculous price...

merci and thank you
