what is the absolute best car for WVO long distance driving..

Hi, I'm a french Canadian that moved to the Philippines.. please forgive me if my English isnt UK perfect....

since i reside in a country where it is 30c + daily.. i figured i can run any diesel car on wvo without any conversion.. i WANTED a 83 mercedes 200D but the AC was broken and so was the lift pump.. so i figured .. i can find better... wanted a toyota Fortuner it is a big suv that runs on diesel... or how about the mercedes smart fortwo cdi... the first model that ever came to Canada.. i heard it was diesel and a buddy of mine drove from Montreal to Florida and spent only 19$ on fuel to warm up the wvo.. but.. alot of Quebecers are full of *****.. so im asking some of you slightly more educated than myself for your advise.. i am aware that i will need alot of spare filters ( the kind that have a water separastor) in my car to replace them on the go.. and something called BIO-kleen.. to eliminae growth or stuff.. but with the tempeature here, i can just poor it straight into the fuel tank like mythbusters.. and just go.. driving on deep fried chicken oil (although.. it wont be vegetable oil per say.. it will be used coconut oil and used palm oil)


but i found out that common rail is n bueno for wvo.. and DI is also no good.. leaves me with IDI... and i think they used an old 300D on mythbusters..
it is a 5cyl inline.. IDI i believe.. so.. what year of the 300D is the last IDI ? i want something as recent as possible.. i had to swap the umm cardan in Montreal on a 93 ford probe gt.. the metal stick between transmission and front right wheel... it was so seized it took me 3 days to yank it out.. rust...




sooo.. 84 mercedes 300D is the perfect one ???(or is there a later model year ???) i want to run my motor to power my AC on boat rides between the 8000 islands of the Philippines.. and not worry about burning expensive petrol

i did find a 84 300D with an OM602 engine set at a ridiculous price...

merci and thank you

actually i am seeing a few 240D's near the capital at more reasonable prices.... 1000$ less...

i will REDO my question

because i only intend to drive said vehicle LESS than 100 km a week... and i want this to be a cheaper alternative.. so i will stick with the ancient Mercedes and ride WVO without a conversion kit..

and i will add a bit more information.. i WILL filter the wvo on my balcony through a 400 mesh filter (dont know how many micros that is)
let it sit for a week... and dump it in the cars fuel tank...
additionally, i will order the best diesel filter (with water separator) install it into the 240D and and have minimum 10 little filters inside the vehicle as back up to replace on the go... i will include the photo..



my daughter lives 12 hours drive/boat from me, i would love to be with her all the time...

please tell me what damage am i expecting to see ??? caramelization ? clogged injectors ? and after how long ? 5 years ? 10 years ?
and please tell me cheap ideas to avoid that kind of damage... like electric heating tape... anything..

just cant justify spending 2,000$US on a wvo convesion kit that only allows me to put 5L in my trunk.. id rather have 50-100L in the boot and just haul a$$ to the beautiful Cebu and never turn the engine off.. even a universal 2nd tank kit is 550 Euros or GBP.. i cant justify that... i honestly never had 1 car for more than 5 years... the French Canadian in me is always hearing Scotty in the back seat telling me that hes given her all hes got.. and FYI scotty was played by James Doohan i believe, another Canadian... so ill push my 4 wheel vehicle to places that it shouldnt ho.. even gone up a mountain in a rental Wigo.. kept going up until the bushes covered the entire road and i almost went over a landslide area.. (probably due to that horrific typhoon in the area 10 years ago.. Yolanda i believe it was called..

cant i just make my own wvo kit ? i just need a 50L plastic or aluminium container in the boot.. put an oil heater in there and pass the engine coolant through it..... i apologize if im over simplifying this process...
i know there is a switch put into the passenger cabin to flip a relay betwen the pump for the diesel and the pump for the wvo... and ive been told that i need to purge all the wvo from the engine 5-15 minutes prior to shutting off the motor..

i am told that i can run on wvo on a CRDI if i mix my fuel tank with mostly diesel or biodiesel and maybe 30% wvo...

okay.. ive decided to purchase a Ssanyong 2000 model year musso... and after thoroughly filtering the wvo.. i will premix 50/50 amount of wvo and diesel... and i will run on this method without the need for any overpriced kit
sorry but i dont agree with 2000$us for a 5L tank.. 2-3 hoses, a switch and a relay that will switch from wvo to diesel input....oh yeah.. and an oil heater i imagine

in case you arent familiar. the 2000 ssanyong musso uses a mercedes 6 cyl inline diesel IDI engine...(they also sell a rexton which is also a candidate but it is bigger, costlier and difficult to find)

since this thread has zero responses, i will just ask a nice moderator to delete this thread and i will keep looking for help elsewhere...

take care and peace to you all o/
