I run about 80% WVO and 20% RUG. I have some idle problems, like RPM dropping to 500 RPM then the engine dies, kinda wish I had my '76 240D again with the adjustable idle control. I had been mixing WVO with Diesel at 50%, I have done that for a few months.

I heat up the WVO in a home-made greenhouse made from old windows. Heated up in the cubies I get the oil in is convenient and clean. For $4.00 you can buy a purolator inline fuel filter. For $40 you can buy an electric fuel pump. And finally for $2 you can buy some clear hose. For a total of about $50 you can start burning WVO in an UNMODIFIED car.

My idle problem may be due to the Rack Damper, the idle did fluctuate whe burning 100% dino this past winter. and yes until the car warmed up it would stall. But at 346K miles, she's tired.

I also need to change fuel filters a little more often, but that's only about $10 for the pair. Do the math, $2.50 / gallon * 10 gallons = $25 diesel vs. (8 gallons WVO and 2 Gallons RUG, or $4.00) I'll take the $4.00 any day.

It works, now I need to find me a ride that's not quite as tired as I am right about now.

Oh to be inline with the original post, anyone ever change a blower motor in a 190e?
