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....

ON THE THEORY OF OPERATION....

After much prodding by his two sons (who just happen to be in the filming business), Kent decided to commit to producing a series of technical videos on troubleshooting and repairing older Mercedes. Each will run approximately 3 to 8 minutes in length and be related to a specific maintenance problem. The goal will be to take some of the mystery out of solving many common mechanical problems that owners face. We hope you enjoy the results. Below you can view all current videos or go directly to our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/mercedessource.

To help you save even more money we are now offering our STC conversion components for sale separately.

You may even want to design your own conversion around just a few of our components or upgrade an existing conversion for better performance.

Here is the list of components you can purchase separately. Just remember when you do it this way you will not be received complete instructions. Which means you really need a working knowledge gained from previous conversions you have done:
