Re: [MBZ] Oil/Diesel Mixtures

[Fred De Vries]

I'd feel like I had stepped into the Twilite Zone regarding cars that ran on 
peanut oil, Vegetable oil, McD's waste etc. If an older fella hadn't stopped 
by my house last week driving the same brown 240D that was sitting in my 
yard.  He told me he had 330,000 miles on it.  I think it was early "80's?
He said he owned a construction company and they used the car for a parts 
runner.  Anytime they changed the oil in anything from a bulldozer to a lawn 
mower they poured the oil in the tank of his MB.  Said he gets 41 MPG with 
his manual and just changes the filters a lot, hasn't had any mechanical 
problems to speak of, but the Michigan Rust Monster is eating the car away 
from the outside in.

Speaking of 240D's...(Nice Segue,eh?)  Mine has the key actually stuck in 
the ignition, won't turn, won't come out.  HELP?
