That said, I understand the allure and that some have been successful running WVo blends or in making their own bio home brew. Thats great if you are very organized, thorough, can put up with the mess and have the time and the desire to do so in a controlled manner. Most dont and most mess up eventually. I know of no one on this board who has put a quick 100k on their engine in a couple of years running same. Lots of folks have burnt it for 20 or 30k in the last 3 - 5 years. Show us a few examples of folks using SVO/WVO or home brew fuels for 100k, or 200k miles and make US believers....(I don't want to know about VW's....we are here to discuss MB's).
Before you ask....I wouldn't dream of burning anything other than D2 or commercially prepared B99 in mine; but, show me enough exapmles and I might change my mind.....  |

Here is exactly what you are asking for.
This is a link to a database with thusands of cars that have been running
veggie for millions of miles.
If you just want information for the Mercedes you can easily do a search
for just that make.
