1987 300TD Quit Running on Biodiesel
This is not my car. I saw this on Ebay and the owner said that the car stopped running using biodiesel. I wonder where he got the biodiesel from - some backyard brewer? Diagnosis for why it stopped running? Cheap fix?

O-rings and fuel filters. Sounds like a GREAT deal.

Some simple fuel problems and they are calling it quits!? damn if they would only do that on a paid-off CDI:D That way i can pick one up cheap!
If this car was local id try to buy it but im not trying to deal with shipping:rolleyes: |
Doesn't seem like his hallmark year powerplant is all that bulletproof.
I've never seen delivery valve seals fail so badly that the engine won't start. I think more likely he ran unheated and uncut WVO which clogged the lines. Sixto 87 300D |

These guys that can't tell waste grease from true biodiesel are the sort that give the whole biofuel industry a bad reputation. Ugh.

Its about six hours from me... so am definitely going to be watching this one!! I don't really need another MB though... not like that will stop me. :D

Still has the trap oxidizer. Could be intentional (waiting for it to kill the turbo to get a new one) but I am guessing his indy doesn't know much about the car...
