WHY PAY FOR GAS??? - this benz is not only fun to drive but saves on gas as well!! This grease car benz features a single tank grease system - this means that there are not two seperate tanks - one for diesel and one for grease - but one tank that accepts either grease or diesel or a blend of the two - i live in new jersey and have run this baby on grease for all but the coldest of months - how it works is there are heated fuel and injector lines lines that are hot-lined to the battery - simply flip a toggle wait for 2 min - and start it up - generally when it is fairly warm out you don't even need to wait the full 2 min and if you are running around town once it is warm it will start up multiple times without needing a warm up - ( i did get stuck one time where i had only grease in the tank and the temp dipped to like 10 degrees for a few days - the first day it warmed up i just filled the tank with diesel and was fine from there out) - this car is a real cruiser - fun to drive and get some looks as well - the leather interior is in great shape with only a small crack in the armrest and a few cracks on the dash - it has a kenwood stereo with ipod connector - although it doesn't actually "slam" it sounds fine - Manual sunroof opens smooth --here are a few things that don't work - the analog clockthe tachometerthe rear window wiperpower antennarear drivers side power window (Needs a part that will require some junk yard hunting as i was quoted $400 brand new to fix it - my wife opted out as my kid kept playing with it anyways )there is a small rust spot behind each rear wheel as you can see in the pictures - I just replaced the transmission and had the brakes checked - the tires are at bout half life ( this size tire is cheap for a set )In all i really have reservations about selling this car but my wife got a new car and we now have six cars not including the company van and a golf cart so something has to give!! i can fully explain the grease thing and if buyer picks up the car feel free to take the 50 gal or so of grease that I have already filtered --I bought this car from an ebay seller named richard who specialized in converting benzes to grease cars - he told us that this was the nicest one he had in years - (California car most if its life) and we have had the car worked on by a benz specialist named wolfgang at stutguart motors who always speaks very highly of this wagon - This all being said the car is 30 years old and although is in great shape is not brand new - feel free to ask any questions - good luck
