Re: [Biofuel] Vehicles suitable for biodiesel operation
Filters should be it. Jan is right - keep at least one if not two around, especially if your cars have a lot of miles of dino on them. 190D's area a blast 35 mpg+ and great acceleration. The 5 speeds are the best. If you really want to careful you could poke along the fuel line to be sure there is no rubber. I don't *think* it will be an issue with the MB but you could check. I don't know about the others. Good luck! -Mike Jan Warnqvist wrote: Hello Win. assumable nothing else than keeping an extra fuel filter with you in the car.
