Best choice for WVO
Hi All,
I tried searching but search is not working, at least not right now. I am thinking of selling my C230 and picking up a diesel, because I have a good supply of high quality WVO. Are there and recommended models that I could get for around 4K? Thanks, Mike

..I've had very good luck with WVO in my '84, and '82 300D's and the '83 300SD (same engine, of course). They've all run very well on WVO - no fuel related issues at all (assuming, of course, that you filter the WVO well before you put it in the tank!). The SD just left with a new owner - headed for Nebraska as I've gone to the dark side and bought a 2005 Passat TDI...feels like a golf cart after the SD!

The 617 turbo engine is said to be one of; if not THE BEST", engine out there to run on Veg fuels. It's prechamber design loves the vegy stuff. So about anything with a 617 turbo will be your best bet.

Agree about the 617. I use straight wvo without a kit and it runs great.
