82 Mercedes 300SD Turbo diesel Multi Fuel California Car 1982 300SD Turbo Diesel It can run on regular Diesel, Bio-diesel, SVO – (straight vegetable oil) or WVO – (waste vegetable oil) or any blend of the above. Right now is running with 20B (20% bio-diesel and 80% regular diesel fuel)With a properly converted Mercedes Benz the fuel price increases won’t be affecting you for the next 20 years or more (expected life of this car, if properly maintained) because you can Drive it for practically FREE, if you decide to make your own Bio Diesel or use WVO, and you don’t have to worry about fuel shortages, with this car you are NOT depending on the oil companies at all, a BIG plus over the Hybrid cars because they have to use gasoline anyway.Be careful with some conversions that only ruin your engine in less than 20,000 miles! And this is a proven fact.Converted professionally on a Mercedes Only Shop, (records included), you can fill up your single tank with 100%: SVO or Bio-Diesel or Diesel Fuel, or any combination of this fuels, with no risk to ruin your engine You can start it off on straight vegetable oil, even in cold temperatures of 25°F -30°F with no need to use any “blends” or anti gelling additives. You can also run it off regular diesel, bio diesel, vegetable oil, or any combination of the 3 on the same fuel tank. A similar conversion is done for around $2,000.00 - $2,500.00 (this includes the kit and installation) depending on the car model and engine type (please check the http://www.elsbett.com web site), this European company has been converting diesel engines to run on one tank system for more than 20 years they also manufacture engines to run exclusively on SVO.To sum up everything below, the car looks really nice and is mostly original. It runs very well, would make an excellent daily driver, remember with the rising price of fuel this car will very soon pay for himself on a couple of years or less.These big luxury Mercedes typically get little over 30 MPG…….but on homemade bio diesel or used veggie oil who cares, it runs for almost free, yes for almost FREE a very nice feature, not found on any high priced and expensive to maintain of the so called “Hybrid” cars.If you are reading this auction description, chances are you are looking to buy a car or just comparing fuel mileage cost or fuel alternatives on the long run.You can buy a brand new car and get in debt for years or drive a classic with style and high standards of safety that only Mercedes Benz can offer, for practically nothing.NOT taking into consideration if you want you can make your own bio diesel or use WVO and the car can be driven for practically free, or if you don’t want to collect used vegetable oil just look for places that sell WVO at $2.00 dollars per gallon and instantly you will have considerable savings over the high price of gas stations, at the auction winner request I will provide a map of the continental US where you can buy the WVO ready to pour in the tank you will be amazed at the quantity of places selling WVO for $2.00 per gallon.The decision is up to you.This is not a like-new car!
