W 140 acceleration problems

Hello,

I have owned a 1992 300SD for 18 months that was converted to run on veg oil. It has done well for 12,000 miles. Last week the alternator went out an got it rebuilt. During that time, I also noted that the car was running hot. It is 105 degrees in Salt Lake right now.

Anyways, I got the car back yesterday and it is accelerating poorly. It did not do this before I got the alterator changed. Seems unrelated? Also I put a half tank of B20 in the car to see how it would run about 1 week ago. Could the fuel filter be clogged and could that explain the slow acceleration and loss of power going up hills.

Thank you

Chinu
