Hi guys,

I got my 190D about a month ago and plan to run on veg oil. I've run a Peugeot 106 over summer, but I want a classier ride.

Anybody else out there doing this?

there's a few of us running on veggy oil.................and we have all gone down slightly different paths

me = i just bung it in,only veggy oil in the summer,in the winter mixed 80/20 with either kerosene or diesel

kentronix = invented a heater method and to quote mercedes enthusiast magazine(it seems the future of eccentric british ingenuity is in safe hands) :blink: ;)

190D-2.5 = went the whole hog and paid for a full twin tank conversion,similar to a LPG conversion

if you look through the posts you'll see all the information you need ;)

Thanx Shrekky,

I'll try the single tank method first. Are you using SVO (off the supermarket shelf) or WVO (used stuff)? What's a good filter for WVO?

cheers,

i use SVO............as for filtering WVO kentronix is the man for that,he puts in his car whatever he can get his hands on..... :rolleyes: lol but i believe he uses a fine water filter set up,to filter his WVO down to 5 microns,which by the way is finer/or just as fine as the filters in our cars ;)
