Please help with vegtherm diagram pictures
I am trying to install a vegtherm onto my Mercedes 300D and I don't have any diagrams on where to put the vegtherm in the engine compartment, if anyone has any pictures please let me see them. Thank You.

put it right before the lift pump. and make sure it only turns on whilst running vo or i've heard there's a risk of vapor lock. you can chain it's relay with the solenoid relays (assuming you are running a 2 tank solenoid switched system).
if you still need help, i'll take a photo tomorrow when it's daytime.

vegtherm
The best place to mount the vegtherm is directly the injection lines leading to the injectors. This way the heat is also transfered directly to the fuel before the engine. Also, always have a filter after the vegtherm. I have the entire install manual if you need me to fax it to you.

I'd suggest moving the vegtherm before the lift pump, since its doing all the work of moving the fuel from the tank to the IP. Unless you've got a heated supply hose (like HIH or a good insulated HOH).
I have a vegtherm placed right before a flat plate heat exchanger, and when its on, I only get about 4*F increase in temperature. Granted, it might help more by putting it after the FPHE, but it just won't fit, but I just don't think the VO spends enough time in the vegtherm to pick up that much heat. Maybe mine is just crappy. Anyone have a good measurement of how much their vegtherm heats up the oil?
