Alright...I am not a gear/metal-head, so I hope no one is offended by my lack of knowledge when it comes to cars...but I would like to change that.

I would like a car that runs on Vegetable Oil; I think that would be the greatest.

Now, I understand that some modifications must be made to the engine (ie- filters) in order for this transformation to take place, but...

...is there a "better" engine for this job? If so, which one?

What I would like to know is, which early/mid/late 1980's model mercedes would be best for this task.

Let me know what you think,
