  • Do you have one tank or two?

    Is the car still running good and has it ran good the whole time?

  • The car converted in the video as well as my car are both single tank conversions. My car has traveled more than 25,000 miles on wvo and hasn't had any engine problems at all. The car in the video is a 300SD and is also running great on wvo.

  • my car has now logged more than 30,000 miles on veg oil (single-tank conversion). it is still running great. I had to put $1,100 into repairing the A/C but that had nothing to do with running on veg oil.

  • how much does it cost to onvert?

  • Mercedes 300-series (or 240) from 1979 to 1985 are the easiest cars to convert. A single-tank conversion will run you about $700. you can do it yourself for about $400 in parts. if you live in a cold climate, you might want to go with a two-tank conversion. this will cost a bit more, perhaps $1,200 or so. If you have a later model diesel vehicle, you will also need a two-tank conversion.

    check with the professionals for more accurate prices. Check out Greasel, Frybrid, Lovecraft, Greaasecar...

  • @lldanj Really b/c I just converted a 1982 240D to run on WVO SVO and B99, and only spent $45.00 new fuel lines a a few fuel filters to change after all the sediment from the tank clogs them up. you way over spent on an easy setup.

  • @SuperFemmeBot Piss off nobody cares what you have to say.

  • can you tell me the parts you used on your veg car

    also how are you blending your wvo

    thanks

    GOD BLESS

  • That's a fancy filter, mine costs me about $7.00 at NAPA.

  • Stop Trolling!

  • No, he's not talking about ethanol. It's reusing already used vegetable oil.

  • not bad at all! thanks :)
