Diesel Cars do not need a conversion to Biodiesel!

Mercedes 240D running 100% biodiesel.

There is so much misinformation out there that your diesel car needs some "conversion kit" to run biodiesel. You DONT unless changing $2 hose 1 time is a conversion kit. Please do not believe the hype. Just put biodiesel in your car and run it. Your fries give me gas. Praise the lard.

I changed the cigar hose and the 4 little injector to injector hoses. That was my conversion. Other than that I put 10k miles on this car running pure 100 % biodiesel. In the winter I mixed it with dino diesel to keep it from gelling up. Most of the time I could get away with 25% or less dino in the mix. When I first started running Biodiesel I had to change my big filter 2x and the smaller inline filter 3x. Once that junk was out of the tank I never changed another filter.

So you think i dont know the diffrence??

SVO is straight vegy oil, like filling up with unused cooking oil aka retard's method

Biodiesel, Filtered, chemically clean, titration. still not safe to run it on one tank...

What i am saying is USE 2 TANK METHOD WHEN USING ANY BIO FUELS, It will save lots of trouble...in the long run.

So what in the title " Diesel cars do not need conversion to Biodiesel" ever indicated I used SVO and therefore meant I was a moron in your opinion?

[zech007]

oh ok, running biodiesel w/o conversion and with one tank...Hmm..Your still an idiot!! You dont deserve to drive a Diesel mercedes doing this setup....

[golgofrinchian]

Because you do not understand the difference between SVO and Biodiesel does not mean you have to call people names. Become more educated on the difference and see what your new found education garners you

@coachgeo I think the original intent of the video back in 2007! was to dissuade people from buying all of those "conversion kits" scam artists use. I myself have heard people say "I would love to run biodiesel in my merc but dont want to mess with all of the parts needed to convert it". That is where the problem lies, too much false info has spread out about greasecar kits and the like.

To much ego in here and not much passing of sound knowledge. Those of you with older MB's claiming you dont have to do much or any mods to run straight oil (SVO or WVO) you are somewhat correct when dealing ONLY WITH OLD MB's. Those suckers love the stuff. But that does NOT exctrapolate to other vehicles well. Go to "BurnvegDOTcom" for straight logical discussion

@zech007 your so full of shit. i run on used corn oil, veggie oil, and i mix it with diesel, and it all goes in 1 tank. w124 pride son.

The best part about running the Bio-fuel or veggie fuel and dino fuel all in one tank, it keeps it clean with less algae build up and little to no sediment in the bottom of the tank. I recently bought a 1982 240D my "conversation" was all new fuel lines only b/c they were original to the vehicle. I put bio fuel, veggie oil and Dino fuel in it, whatever's available I use and I have never had one problem yet and just recently hit 35K miles of doing this. Don't believe hype, you don't need 2 tanks.

what is all the fuss about bio this veggi this, do you want cheap fuel for your diesel car

use furance oil,,

and don't give me that crap about taxes, see how much tax exxon shell etc are paying

@zech007 Using straight up SVO the "retard's method"? How funny, tell me, what do you do with all that glycerin once you're done processing your bio-diesel? SVO burns carbon neutral and with no bi-product making it very effective and "waste" free. Anyhow, usually people use a system of various filters to make sure impurities (or at least not as much garbage) don't reach the engine.

@zech007

You're right, there's a reason why people go through the trouble of installing an extra tank on the trunk. Maybe the OP didn't know that. No need to call him/her an idiot though...

[europe0wnz]

@golgofrinchian and btw, yes i know the diffrence between biodiesel and wvo and svo, but i have never run my car on biodiesel, but you still dont need mods, like every 1 is saying.

[europe0wnz]

@zech007 wow, your an idiot, i run my mercedes on used corn oil, and i just pour it into the tank. older diesels do NOT need modifications. only reason people think you do, is the media said you need to, and people make money off conversion kits. in the winter i do the same as this guy and run a diesel corn oil mix, but i havent had problems with my car.

I run my 240D SWVO and its coldist start was 24F
