In your climate, you may be able to use filtered, dewatered WVO cut with 20% regular gasoline (plus biocide) and maybe a 12 V pad heater or on the IP lines. This would save lots of $ for a conversion and you can allways use dino diesel.

You may be able to get a converted car from the "Mercedes Wrangler". He normaly buys MBs in your area, converts them fro sale in Seatle. I do not know his email address.

That guy is a scam artist. Do a search for Brian Lovecraft

Go to frybrid.com --- read his archives. I see complaints about his customer service, but he seems to have high quality products ...

No. Viton is necessary for biodiesel, and fuel lines only - IPs are totally fine.

Whew. Glad to know that. I was getting ready to run out the door and check my IP.

What car are you looking to convert?

Cheers,

I just acquired a 1980 TD Diesel Wagon. I'm looking to convert it myself. I don't want to pay alot for the parts. Where can I get the parts at a good rate? Should I try Frybird. Will lovecraft just sell the parts?

You will be far better served with Frybrid, despite the rough-edged customer service. Lovecraft reportedly bypassed the factory filter by drilling a hole into it, and replacing it, naturally leaving metal filings inside to get sucked into the pump. Your choice, spend a little bit and ruin your car, or spend a little more and enjoy low cost clean fuel.
