Okay I've done the search and found a few post with peoples installs, but was hoping that i could get a thread with everyone that is running wvo in their Mercedes Benz that shows their system. how and where they installed their components, where they routed their lines etc. I know there are those out there that disagree with the whole concept but I consider it the truly American way.

"Que patriotic music" The man (government and oil co) are charging the people in excess for no reason (if there was a valid reason the oil co wouldn't be reporting record profits). Diesel is cheaper to process than gas but they are charging more for diesel because the trucks that are vital to the supply of American ways have to have it. So its up to the people to fend for themselves.

I've nearly got all my components ready and know how i'm gonna do it, just wanted to see what others before me have done.

thanks

In the upper left hand corner, click on User CP. Click on signature and type in the model and year of your car. A Merc would be Mercury. I assume you have a Mercedes Benz as you are on this forum.

Then click on User Profile and fill in your location (unless you are in the witness protection program). It will help other members answer your questions correctly.

Good luck with the WVO set-up. If you happen to live in the great state of Washington, you won’t have to pay tax on your WVO or home made Biodiesel after July 1st.

Here are some photos of my conversion - 240D WVO Conversion Pics
My goal was to make the car look as stock as possible, and to be able to remove the system and leave no evidence that it had a WVO system in it. I routed my fuel and coolant hoses through some access holes behind the rear set for the rear suspension, so I didn't have to cut any large holes for that stuff. I used a stock MB switch in the cabin for switching to VO. I mounted my VO tank to the stock tank mounts so again no extra hole in the car. I put a 123 fuel level sender in my VO tank, and set it up for the stock fuel gauge to switch over to the VO tank when I switch to VO. I didn't want any goofy gauges in my car. Thats my conversion in a nutshell. It's been running problem free for 7 months and 8000 miles

Thanks Biodiesel300dt, i like your install, what are you using for your heater, looks like 3 relays for something (glowplug heater?). I would have loved to used the wedge tank, but trying to keep cost down im using a 15 gal food grade steel drum. Ill post pics once im done.

Bio300TDTdriver, well i thought i had my profile filled in but i did it again. I had seen "merc" used on here and always thought of the old school mercury lead sleds but had seen it on here and thought it was acceptable. Thats awesome yall don't have to pay taxes on it. I figure i'd just skip the taxes and call it reparations for the man going against every treaty they made my people sign. haha
Are you processing your on BioDiesel? And on the whole paying road tax what is the gov't standing on electric vehicles.

I have a tube through my VO tank that the coolant is plumbed through. Then I have TurboFyner coolant heated VO filter. I have a ArcticFox Midranger coolant heater, a Vegtherm, and injector line heaters.

Two of the three relays control the switching of my fuel gauge, the other controls the Vegtherm and the injector line heaters. I also have a timer delay relay in the wiring box that delays the closing of the return valve so I don't dump VO in the diesel tank.

Using a pant leg as a filter? I have heard of people doing this but I am not a fan. I am a strong believer that the quality of oil will dictate the problems that you have in the future. spending a couple bucks on a 5 micron filter rather than a pant leg is worth the investment. People argue that WVO doesn't work because of the injection pump and many other things. But if you were to examine the set up for filtration/ quality of oil, one would fine the cause of the failure. Find a good oil and an even better way to filter it and I am guessing that engine failure would decrease by alot.

These pictures are bad but you can see the home made coolant/fuel heater coil and the two electronic fuel selctor valves. the two toggle switches in the cab control the selected tank for diesel or Veggie and return to diesel or veggie. I used a 15 dollar plastic marine fuel tank which I used as my diesel tank and the original tank as my veggie tank. I taped into the coolant line on the IP side as it comes out of the engine on its way into the cab to the heater core. I used a high preasure/temperature rubber line most commanly used for washing machines(bought it at the home depot). Not pictured on the passanger side were the a/c condensor used to be I used a water seperator/ heated fuel filter that are on big catapillar tractors and buses. I spent 300 to 400 bucks and the most expensive stuff was the selector valves and the heated filter.

your not too far off base with that. I had an alge problem shortly there after in that marine tank. but I only kept it half full and it only took about a month to clog with alot of alge. i have a water seperator on the car. there wasn't any alge in my regular tank but alot in the red one.

.

Some of us blend the veggie with thinners like diesel, or gasoline.
And only use the one tank.

Some heat the mix, some don't

Lots of different ways to do it.

Have Fun !

[quote=stephenc03;1851231]relax dude. i've got a spinner II i'm in the process of setting up. plus, when it's freezing outside, the oil i get flows like honey at room temp. oh, and besides that, i only paid $800 for my car. it has paid for itself all the way, including all replacement parts.

peace.

This is a nice installation. Did you plug the nipple where the injector return line used to go into the banjo bolt op top the spin-on diesel filter? And how much of a mess does it make when you change the VO filter? Mine is mounted vertically and its still dribbles down the sides of the filter when I take it off, I use two plastic bags now when removing the filter to catch the oil spill.

Soon I hope to have the installation on my wagon documented. Its been over a year, time to get to it. I'll update when that's done.
