thanks in advance

hey youngbenz i am currently converting my 82 300sd to vegi. its really quite simple! look up hose-n-hose system to heat the vegi with coolant. your copper vegi line runs inside the coolant line going from your coolant heated tank to the engine. we just installed that yesterday. we ran the lines under the car. your diesel fuel tank is probably behind your passenger seat. right? is your injection pump on the driver or passenger side of the engine? you should check out the book from the fryer to the fuel tank it really helps give you an idea of how to work it. if you want to ask me any questions about my conversion feel free! and remember its not as hard as you think it is...really
