Hello Peter.
I can recommend all MB diesels as ideal
for biodiesel. I am into my third now, and there have been no problems
whatsoever. Just a small advice though:
The grinder on the fuel line just before
the feed pump should be moved by longer hosing, in order to become easily
replaced from above, if necessary. In any other case you may have to get under
the car in order to replace it.
That ´s all. Good luck !

Subject: [Biofuel] Mercedes Diesel
Suitable?
This is my first try at this list so excuse me if
I don't get it yet. I need to acquire a diesel vehicle before I start to
experiment with BioDiesel. I have looked at a Mercedes 300D that has not run
in about 4 years and has 165K miles on it. I think it is about a 1985. I
haven't talked to the owner yet. Can anyone give me some tips as to whether
this car would suit, from an affordability standpoint, using for Biodiesel. I
am very skilled mechanically so I can put the vehicle into operation with my
own labor, but I expect parts to be expensive. I am not sure what I may need
to do to it for Biodiesel. It is a five cylinder but I'm not sure if it is a
turbo or not (needs a second look). I am also looking at (preferred)
a Volkswagen Rabbit diesel. That one is a long shot right now. Thanks for
any help.
Peter
