My friend did the Lovecraft conversion last year on his 87 300SDL. He ran
100% WVO... without diesel, his mileage is around 20MPG. With diesel he gets
25MPG. However, I think he needs new injectors as his is way over 200,000
miles.
I filter all the oil for him. I finally got it figured out and I filter to 1
Micron. I can do 30 gallons in about 2 hours liesurely. We collect our own
oil.
I will convert mine soon. We live in Northern NJ. He ran full WVO in 40
degree... he had a bit of hard time to start but once going, he is fine. I
told him repeatedly to fill some regular diesel to thin it out for cold
weather... I think he wants to experiement. We also had a hard time
filtering the oil but I got it all worked out and fast. |

But you take crude oil from the North Sea and
refine it, don't you?

Is there any data on using Kerosene to thin WVO rather than #2 fuel oil? I
would think you would need less? >> Stay informed about: Yikes! Diesel $4.50/gallon |

Now you've pushed one of my buttons. We have a taxpayer subsidized ethanol
plant in Washington state that does absolutely nothing to mitigate the high
price of fuel here because every drop produced is sold in Asia. This is
just socialism at a corporate level at consumer expense. >> Stay informed about: Yikes! Diesel $4.50/gallon |

Welcome to the Real-political world. Corporate welfare has been around
for a long while. It's the CEO's and not the working mothers that has
been pulling at Washington hind teat.

Right, but does it mix well with WVO? I would think you would need less
Kerosene to get a start the Diesel? Just a thought. >> Stay informed about: Yikes! Diesel $4.50/gallon |

Kerosene is more expensive, but you need less of it to reduce the
viscosity of the mixture. So prices, and the temperature are the
variables that it will depend on. people also cut WVO with gasoline to
thin it out. Chea[er, and quite thin. You have to use the cheap stuff.
Do not use anything but cheap gasoline, and never more than 15% in
your mix. Some will actually let the gasoline go stale and drop in
octane so it will burn better. There is loads about it on the
biodiesel.infopop forum. Go into the blending section of the forum. >> Stay informed about: Yikes! Diesel $4.50/gallon |

Since Norway is a democracy, the inhabitants must
approve of their governments
and the oil prices. Public transport serves most
of the public and those with deep
pockets pay an extra subsidy for their oil. That's
the way the majority of the people like it.
America is not a democracy. The corps and the
fatcats hire lobbyists to make sure it stays that way.

And now your anti-semitic side comes out. According to you, America
is on it's knees. Just remember that next time Europe needs some
heavy lifting again. BTW, if Europe is so all mighty, how come the
weak old USA had to do the heavy lifting for you as recently as the
Balkans? Seems as usual, you couldn't even handle that little
pissant of a problem.

Miles Per Gallon on 1990+ Diesels - Does anyone have any experience on this for the 1990 diesels. My 1983 SD gets 30 on the interstate highways. 22 around town. I know that if you have to ask this you can't afford one; however, I am curious. thanks, Tom D.
1992 300 2.5 Turbo Diesel - I am considering buying a 92 Mercedes 300 2.5 turbodiesel. Does this model/engine have the same reputation for durability, longevity, and fuel efficiency that other Mercedes diesels have?
Diesel Oil Pressure - Can't figure out why my oil pressure stays above 30 psi at warm idle on my W115 240D (616 4 cyl. diesel). Always before, I've seen it down below 15. Of course that was on cars with more than 250,000 miles. Is this cause for concern, or rejoicing? -- ... |
