Frybrid-Style WVO Kit

This is a full system, everything you need to run your diesel car on vegetable oil. It has been installed in my mercedes 300d for a couple years but hasn't gotten much use because I don't have the time to get the oil and filter it. But it does work and gets really high temperatures. I drove to Boston on it, and NYC a few times. It is a hybrid of the greasecar and frybrid systems, but more based on the frybrid system which is superior (and more expensive). It has a large tank in the trunk with hose-in-hose HIH that runs the oil and heats it to the front of the car. Two greasecar valves, temp gauge, heated filter, heat exchanger. I built a panel to replace the ashtray that has two temp gauges and a power outlet. I also have drawings on how to install and can try to advise if you need help.

It's an awesome system but I just had a fender bender and my car is out of commission. I spent way more on this than what I'm asking ($750), plus the time to build the HIH and source all the parts. Feel free to make an offer. I'm in the Philadelphia area.

I got the diagrams and instructions on how to get parts and install this from a member here - "Marybeth" - who has this same system in a number of his cars. He can attest to what a great system this is.

Oh, I will likely be parting out the 300d that this is attached to as well, so stay tuned!

Started removing it today and it's in really great shape. Should be easy to hook up. If you're in the market for one of these kits and in the Philadelphia/NYC area, this would be a great one. Kudos to Pete for the design.

Some more pics...

Interested

Good afternoon,

I am very interested I your setup, I ran into your friend Peter at a car show in Fort Lauderdale last night and he linked me to you. I am sorry to hear about the loss of your 300. I'll send you my number in a private message.

William
