Mercedes Is There a Free Lunch? Kent has His Doubts!

The pros, cons, effort, and expense of running your Mercedes Diesel on waste vegetable oil.

The interest in running Mercedes diesels on waste cooking oil is at a fever pitch. With diesel fuel prices now over $4 a gallon and rising, a lot of people would like to run on free fuel. But is it really free even if the restaurant does not charge you to come and take it away? Kent has collected hundreds of gallons of vegetable oil and experimented with quite a number of conversion systems over the the past eight years. He has learned a lot along the way and has even written a number of manuals on theory, conversion, operation and troubleshooting. If you want to learn more, check out the links and additional resources listed below. Then you can decide if there really is a free lunch....

Item: TUL-COMHTTS

You asked for it so we made it happen. Many of you have been wanting to know what we use for high temp thread sealant (when we don't want to use the permanent epoxy). We don't like thread tape or anything with Teflon in it.

Mercedes SVO WVO Conversion Installation Hose Clamp Kit - 25 Pak

Item: GOP-COMPHC25
$23.95

If you are working on an SVO fuel system for any Mercedes I recommend you have these clamps on hand. Cheap clamps can cause air leaks leading to great frustration- the US style clamps with holes that cut into the rubber. These clamps will work on all 8 mm hose, 5/16 and 3/8 US spec fuel or coolant hose.

Mercedes Diesel Biodiesel SVO WVO Performance Filter and Water Separator Kit

With 5/16 Bio Hose and Fitting Kit w/ Instructions

Item: STCCOM-SFK
$84.50
fm100

If you run or plan to run B20 to B100 biodiesel or SVO / SVO blend (straight vegetable oil) I highly recommend you do not count on just your factory filter to provide proper filtration. Our Stanadyne FM 100 filter has a much larger capacity and better water separation capability than the factory filter. This will give you better filter life and better performance over a longer period of time. This filter is much easier to change on the road and less messy that the factory filter. It fact it is the easiest filter to change of any of the competition aftermarket filters by far. No tools are required - only the twist of your wrist! It has proven to outperform any Racor Filter on the market for less money and less hassle!
