15 years of burning veggie grease and thousand of miles. Just using a Racor filter ahead of the Benz . The only problem has been gelling below 45 degrees. Just burn a tank of regular diesel once in a while . The grease is quiter and smells like a burning frying pan. It starts on straight veggie all summer.

But the engine in your benz was designed by a different team of engineers and not RD.

http://www.green-trust.org/ Email Steve. He does conversions to SVO/WVO. His own Detroit Diesel genset runs on WVO. Upper NY State, off grid.

At first I blended mine with diesel. I switched to unleaded. I now blend as much as 30% unleaded with my WVO and add some power service diesel kleen. Kugel inspired blend

It seems RD's spirit added his $0.02 when they designed the 617 cause it has a long reputation as being one of the best engines out there to burn WVO in.

I stand corrected-Thank you. I am thinking of doing this WVO oil in my old 240D-some guys are doing it in their New VWs TDI(mine is '99 VW) but I think about the loss if my TDI motor gets screwed up and thats lots of $$$$$. Some of these TDI guys are chipping their Rigs and they go like hell but it seems the failure rate of their Turbochargers amongst other parts also are wearing out way before their time. Hard to say what WVO would do to these TDIs units over tiime.
