I have an 85 300D single tank no mods & have been running 99% on straight used cooking oil for about 2 years. With no problems whatso ever, the D engine runs as smooth as it would if it was brand new. I would not be concerned at all about the conversion damaging the 240D.

Not that I would keep the lovecraft system on it- This is a stickshift 240D with nice paint no rust and what looks like a 9 out 10 interior.

I would run away from most of the above advice, and fly to NM, take it to an MB indy for inspection- and if it passes a good checkup-

BUT IT NOW!! IMHO. that is a very cool 240D worth every penny of the 4500. that would give you years of cool pleasure.
