WVO conversion for Mercedes W210 E300D
I don't find any reference on the Mercedes Source website to converting a W210 chassis. I just bought a 99 E300TD with 132,000 miles and would like to convert it to WVO using the GreaseOn system. I've bought and read most of the manuals and books that Mercedes Source offers and really like their approach to the conversion process. However, there seems to be no room under the hood for some of the equipment because of the placement of the manifolds. What do I need to know to do this conversion properly? (I think I want to do a dual tank conversion, with the main tank for the WVO and a small "marine" tank of 3-5 gallons in the trunk for diesel.) Any suggestions?
Low demand for 210 chassis
With the amount of time I have to put into designing and developing my pre-built modular components, I have to make pretty certain there is enough demand to warrant all the hours of R and D work. So far the 210 market it too limited. You can understand why all other SVO kit makers just sell a bunch of off -the -shelf parts and then have you figure out where to install them (pretty much on your own). As you have seen the 210 chassis presents some unique challenges.
On the 210 chassis you should plan to put the SVO filter in the trunk. Engine compartment components would need to be spread out where space allows. Sorry, I can not be of more help on this one. Kent Bergsma
