Exactly, you're doing heating. You may not be heating the tank, but you
are at least getting that veg warm before it's injected into your
engine. I've heard of a fair amount of people saying that the single
tank elsbett works well.
That said, there is the obvious problem as has been stated of it simply
being too cold for vegoil to flow period.
I.e. you certainly aren't going to be using partially hydrogenated oil
at anywhere near freezing... (without a system to heat it before
running on it) Since it is entirely solid by then.

I started running WVO using a single tank Elsbett kit on my S350 at 150k
miles. At 180k I replaced the head gasket and a bent rod. Things were a
little dirty inside, but nothing major. No where near "coking up" the rings
or anything like that. I don't quite fit your profile because I only run
100% WVO during the summer (> 45F), I thin with kerosene during the winter,
and the oil is heated before it hits the injector pump. I switched to 100%
last week. This morning the car started a little rough at 35F and took a few
minutes to smooth out. I should have plugged it in overnight. Overall, my
results have been good thus far, however I would not recommend this for
everyone.

I didn't realize at first that this was a 91' However, I still wouldn't
have guessed that the fuel was being heated. Though I doubt even if it
is being heated that it will be to about 180F?
If it's heated Somewhat you might get away with it on the Benz.
I'm simply referring to posts I've seen on other forums from some guy
who swore up and down that the old Benz (like 80-85 300D's) didn't need
any heating. He was in Florida, so everything was pretty warm. Well,
about 15K miles later he was pissed off cause he had major coking
problems and it messed up the rings.
Or at least that's more or less what I *think* I read. Feel free to try
it yourself and prove me wrong, I'd LOVE to not have to worry about
it! (:
If you can point me to anyone who has more than say 20K miles and is
running STRAIGHT 100% veggie with NO HEATING whatsoever, I'd LOVE to
read it!

BZZZT wrong....what work will you need to do in 15k??
The car will runb fine on veggie oil like that. The OM603 has a fuel
heater built in.
If you'd like to point us to actual FACTS that would be appreciated!
Go ahead and throw it in! You'll like it!
