I always thought and read that it was invented to run on rapeseed oil....not diesel fuel we use today. but

1 Get a good source of WVO; preferably clean cola colored oil that was not used to fry any meats...fish is OK....

2; Get some pails to collect it...clean well

3; Filter ; alot of people use 5 micron filterbags;;(search filterwvo) I filter into a 55 gal drum through a bed sheet folded over 2X and supported by chicken wire ...

4; Mix 1 part RUG; 4 parts filtered WVO; 2 oz of Acetone; 2 oz. of diesel cetane booster; MIX PRIOR to adding to tank...

5; buy extra fuel filters 1 each you may want to begin with a new Primary filter ; get a clear one...to seee through....have an extra in trunk at all times...and an extra spin on...with tools to do a change...phillips head and a 15/16ths wrench or wrachet...

I have a 300D-T but I got this combp from Matt300SD here who has run over 6K miles in his 300SD....

Good luck ....
