1978 MERCEDES BENZ 300D SERIES - Under 60,000 Original Miles! 4 Door Sedan Diesel-Vegetable Oil Conversion; Asking $7,500 or Best Offer **FREE 100 gallons new soy bean oil go with the car, delivered within 25 miles of Hollywood. FUEL The vegetable oil conversion was done by Fatty Wagons (http://www.fattywagons.com). A conversion means the car can run on diesel fuel, vegetable oil, or a combination of the two. We used to get our oil from a couple of local restaurants that otherwise would need to pay to dispose of it; one Chinese and one Bar-B-Que. We used a fine filter to take out any debris from the fryer. We now use expired cooking oil that we buy in 55 gallon drums—and fill ‘er up at very little cost! Vegetable oil used as fuel is often described as waste vegetable oil (WVO) if it is oil that was discarded from a restaurant or straight vegetable oil (SVO) to distinguish it from biodiesel, although the term biodiesel is sometimes used interchangeably with diesel cars that were converted to run on vegetable oil. You are encouraged to read up on how diesels Mercedes of this era are perfect for this conversion.
