Too bad. Those are good engines. We had an 80's VW Rabbit diesel with a 4 speed manual, no overdrive. It would get 48-50-mpg on the highway. I don't think that hybrids are scams, as I have seen reports of aftermarket tuners tuning them t well over 100-mpg. As they are from the factory, they are very disappointing, though. Too bad. I like the Honda CRZ. Maybe some aftermarket tuning? Could you imagine the addition of overunity HHO production to a well tuned gas/diesel hybrid? I can.
Yup old non turbo benz diesels never die. I have inherited my fathers 1980 300td. It did not come with a turbo like the newer models. He drove it off the lot new. He gave it to me when it had 550,000 miles on it. It now has over 650,000 miles. The only thing ever done is all new filters once a year. Other then that is just wares tires out and nothing more. I did have to replace the speakers, an battery, but she still runs like new. Starts right up even on the coldest mornings. Gets about 25 mpg.
from what i have heard about the newer diesel engines with common rail injection the seals will turn to gunk with biodiesel and they have been built in such a way that changing the seals to viton is rather tedious,and expensive.
so be wary of the newer makes.
older engines like that benz and i know from experience the 3L toyota engines are perfect candidates for running SVO as well biodiesel,even SVO,kero blends which is far simpler than running a biodiesel plant.
hi the only problem i see is that water cannot be pressureised through the original injectioon pump.so a steam pressure washer pump (ceramic) may suffice then it would be based on a steam engine type.....you can get a plasma spark as well ....just point you to my andrija vid .and read all the gobble de gook on the more info .appreciate your view
@honda4004 hello, glad to see everyone is still on and "tuned" in. these engines are perfect candidates based on the use of the high pressure + high temperature. given that you couldn't run the fuels injecting with the same pump. that is the problem its missing some engineering. but otherwise the diesel injection method could come in play if use of a high pressure steam, or injection was required. haven't seen anyone try it. so who knows. hope all is well.
@honda4004 the water isn't supposed to be sent in through the injectors, it needs to come in through the intake. This gives it time to atomize. It also cools incoming air (much like an intercooler, cold air burns better) and increases the compression (water doesn't compress, so more space taken up increases compression)Which makes for easier starts, longer life (as it reduces carbon build up) and noticeable mpg gains. 3-4mpg. This was hooked up on a friends old rusty 300TD wagon.

i have a 300sd, its a great car
i run wvo
no mods, just oil and em gas mixture, works great until it gets cold, will mix with 50% diesel when winter comes, more if needed

Wow what a gorgeous drive in the snow. Great music for it as well. Must feel like losing a limb after all the work. Good luck finding another.

Alo ha,
It is said that Mr. Diesel was developing
his motor to run on water, when he was killed.
I have a friend who runs one of these 300's
on restaurant vege oil.
All he did was add an additional fuel filter.
He just screens out the heavy sediment when
he pours it in the tank.
It's a clean wagon, used to belong to Kirk Douglas.
