Episode 13: GFS Converts a Mercedes Unimog and H1 Hummer

Please visit our website at http://www.goldenfuelsystems.com

A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to have a client bring in a rare diesel vehicle for us to convert. Most people may have never heard of the Unimog made by Mercedes Benz. However, it's quite arguably the Swiss Army Knife of the all terrain vehicle world.

Charles Anderson, President of Golden Fuel Systems goes over the custom straight vegetable oil conversion which was done at our Headquarters in Springfield Missouri. Also in the shop at the same time was an H1 Hummer which was having a custom conversion later in the week.

Great video, now tell me something... hummers are like toys when compared with Unimog, right?

[GoldenFuelSystems]

@pvarela2 Well, that's a matter of opinion but the Unimog was VERY fun to have in our shop :)

can you do this in a turbo diesel mercedes gl 350?

[GoldenFuelSystems]

@poojacrew We have no experience with this particular engine as no one has wanted to convert such a new engine. The newer emissions technology on some of these newer engines have proven to be problematic on svo.

It's great to see you guy's working too put renewable, clean burning fuels in our vehicles! Nice job on the Unimog as well!

The Unimog, is utilised by multiple militaries around the globe as the general purpose logistics vehicle.. great truck! great modification..

@TheBattleWagon There are all sorts of methods to preheat your engine so startup is shorter. You can use a block heater, park your car in a heated garage, etc. etc. All of which require energy.  Depending on which method you use, the amount of energy required may defeat the purpose. Our systems are designed to work in any condition but there are things you can do at home, like parking the car in the garage over night which will help decrease your startup time.

@Chijousaikyo To answer your question, diesel engines can burn a variety of fuels however our expertise is on the use of new and used vegetable oil. With a good SVO system, diesel engine's run great on the stuff :)

@tadpole5555

if you think people buy Unimogs because of the sheer size, you do know nothing about these machines.
