< SPAN lang=EN> 1985 MERCEDES BENZ 300D LOW MILE, ONE OWNER, GARAGED SINCE NEW, TURBO DIESEL CLASSIC This car is being offered with a vegetable oil conversion. This car will run on Straight Vegetable Oil, Waste Vegetable Oil, Biodiesel, Diesel, or a combination of any of these fuels. The single tank conversions are the easiest and most efficient way to run vegetable oil in your vehicle. If you are environmentally conscious, this is the vehicle for you. This car has a neutral carbon footprint. If you would like to do something about the Gulf Oil Spill, this is it. If you are trying to save money on fuel, this is the vehicle for you. This vehicle will pay for itself in a few years in fuel savings alone if you use free WVO. If you are tired of our dependence on foreign oil imports, this vehicle is for you. This car can be run on pure vegetable oil that is domestically grown and produced. Also you can rest assured that if you would rather run on diesel, you should get 500,000 miles plus on this car on diesel or oil. This sedan is very clean inside and out and has only 95,000 miles on it, which is very low miles for these cast iron head diesel engines that have been known to go a million miles.

Vegetable Oil Conversion: The conversion is based on a 2 micron filter/water separator that has a top loaded 100 watt heating element that automatically turns on when temperatures fall below 60F and turns off when the oil reaches 85F. This insures that the veg oil will flow through your filter no matter how cold it gets outside. The final heat stage comes from injector line heaters that get the fuel nice and hot quickly. These heaters will get the fuel to 170F within 3 minutes and if you turn them on before you start the car you will be insuring that hot oil is reaching the injectors right away. This will insure easy starts, even on cold mornings and also insure proper and complete burning of the oil which is critical for the health of your engine.
