We have recently been getting more requests for product catatogs. We decided to deliver. Our first product catalog specific to SVO kits and products is finished and ready to ship. This will outline all our different conversion kits as well as list individual upgrades you can make to an existing conversion. It will also show you individual components you can purchase if you want to build your own system.

The other buyers guides we are currently working on are Diesel Engine Performance Products Guide and Top Mercedes Weekender Projects (key jobs you can do at home on a weekend). Stay tuned for more to come.

These 3 illustrated manuals will help you quick start the process of converting your Mercedes diesel to run on free fuel.

With diesel fuel approaching $5.00 per gallon you cant tell me you are not interested in this subject. I know you may have lots of questions. To begin you must decide if you really want to do this!

• Mercedes Diesel Buyers Survival Guide
• Introduction to Vegetable Oil Fuel Conversions
• Collecting and Filtering Waste Cooking Oil
• SVO Advanced Theory and Operations
• SVO Conversion 2008 Product Buyers Guide

If you have been contemplating either converting your current Mercedes diesel to run on free vegetable oil or are considering purchasing a used diesel to convert, then I highly recommend you purchase my complete set of 4 manuals before you head out on your quest. (the 5th book pictured is our SVO product Buyers Guide and is included free of change) The information contained in these illustrated manuals and guides could save you hundreds and possibly thousands of dollars.

Can't stand looking at those cracks anymore. This may not be as nice looking as a replacement dash, but certainly a lot easier and cheaper!  This black used dash overlay carpet is in good condition. Form sewn to fit over the instrument cluster. Fits all 114 and 115 coupes and sedans from 1968 to 1976

Fits 126 sedans 1981 to 1983 and 123 sedans and couples 1982 to 1985. This is a good working electric sunroof motor and housing. NO gears or clutch assemby parts are included. Unit also fits early 201 190E and 190D 1984 to 1986.

Fits chassis 116 123 126 and 201 Diesels with PENCIL glow plugs, from 1978 to 1989. This little strip fuse is located in the Glow Plug Relay and can sometimes be the cause of your glow plug problems. Even if it appears to be good, we recommend that you physically remove it and inspect it for cracks or breaks before you replace the Relay! Sold in a 2 pack.

If you work around your Mercedes much this is a great tool to have. The quality is exceptional for the price. It will reset to measure in both inches and millimeters. For a limited time I will even include a spare button battery at no extra cost.

If you are going to test and tune your diesel fuel injectors this is a must have tool! It is the best way to determine the current thickness of the pressure adjusting shim washer in each injector and to help choose the proper replacement. We are committed to helping you service and overhaul this critical maintenance component.

As I have said elsewhere on this site, fuel injectors may be the most neglected maintenance item on the older Mercedes diesel engines. Just because they are working does not mean they are working well. And now with the cost of diesel fuel creeping up to $5.00 per gallon this is even more important than ever! You can work on your injectors yourself. It is not difficult, but you are going to need the right tools. I have put together this quality but inexpensive tool set for those who want to tune-up or overhaul their injectors on their own. If you are running SVO in your diesel you MUST take care of your injectors or your diesel will not take care of you. This tool set includes the following:

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 Fitler on the market for less money and less hassle!

We have looked far and wide for the right size WVO HD pump pickup filter and have finally found it. Our criteria was it had to be all metal, had to be not too small or too big, had to take fitting for 3/4 inch hose, had to have a bottom surface to mount a stand pipe, and had to be easily cleanable. Now comes with three cleaning brushes, a plastic stand pipe that you can glue on if needed and pictorial instructions loaded with tips.

High performance glow plug set (6 total) for your E300D. Only fit 210 chassis 1996 to 1999. Made by Monark in Germany. Not Bosch in France or Turkey! Now long reach glow plugs for a great price that really are hot!

If you are installing a dual tank conversion in your Mercedes you are going to need a way to allow the hoses to enter the trunk somewhere. The best way to do this is to use a hole saw to cut one or two round holes in the spare tire will in bring in the coolant hoses and/or fuel hoses. The hoses can be protected from chaffing with tape and then sealed with Silicone to prevent water and dirt from entering your trunk. Yes, I know these hole saws are not meant for metal - and that is why you need this cheap set. No need to dull your expensive hole saws. Once or twice on metal and the saws are done. But then you wont be using all the sizes in this kit so you will end up with extras for future wood projects around the house.

DEFINITION: Our DTC 100 (Dual Tank Conversion) upgrade for TWX (temperate weather climate) is your best solution if you only operate in temperatures where it seldom gets below freezing and you want an easy to install and less expensive system. I call this a SHORT Upgrade kit because we do NOT include everything you need to convert to dual tanks and it is only an UPGRADE to our STC conversions 100, 1000 and 2000). IT IS NOT a complete kit by itself and it does not include everything you will need to upgrade. There are only a few items you will have to obtain on your own. We deliberately leave out the fuel source switching valve, the second fuel tank, and dash mount switches because we have found most users want to customize their installation anyway.

Have you been trying to find the right hose kit to upgrade your current WVO conversion. I know you want something that can handle biodiesel when you run it and you want something that can hold up to your boost heater. You also want to get rid of your ridiculous barbed fitting and cheap hose clamps that keep cutting into your fuel hoses!

Now you can order this kit and solve all those nagging problems once and for all! This kit contains:

This is the super fuel hose we have been waiting for! Finally a hose that meats all the needs for running, gasoline, ethonol, diesel, biodiesel, and heated SVO in less than ideal environments. There is nothing else like it on the market today.

Now you can buy it in any length you want! Order here by the foot. This is the super fuel hose we have been waiting for!

Here is an inexpensive set of cleaning brushes that really get down in the crevices. The plastic one is good for exterior cleaning around the window and body trim. The brass is good for cleaning engine parts you don't want to scratech. The steel one is excellent if you are doing some rust repair.

Excellent used working 1974 to 1976 240D injection pump removed from good running engine. This unit is complete as shown. No plastic fuel lines included. If your pump is going bad the expense to rebuild can range from $800 to $1000 - AND THESE PUMPS DUE GO BAD due to the lack of proper maintenance (ie oil checks). See my new Sourcelet on maintaining these pumps. This is the only one I have and a good chance to pick a IP for a great price.

Due to Kent's heavy product development and writting schedule he will no longer have the time to answer all the questions that have been pouring into our forum. Our goal has always been to be a resource to Mercedes owners who need help fixing their own cars. There is just not enough time to help everyone. We want to continue to try to help our current customers, so we are offering personalized tech help with your order of $75.00 or more. Some restrictions apply:

Hard to find original braided hydraulic fuel hose for your 123 wagon. I find this hose to be rotten and needing replacement on almost all 123 wagons I see come into the shop. Enough length included for one replacement. Comes with two new high quality (non-cutting) German hose clamps.

Fits the following: These nozzles fit ONLY 1986 and 1987 126 300SDL and 1987 124 300D and 300TD. This is the critical inside wear part of the injector that delivers the fuel spray into the cylinder. Replace for better fuel economy, more power, easier starts, and less exhaust smoke.

This shim kit is for those who want a large assortment of every possible combination at their fingertips. It is not easy to find such a complete kit. I personally looked so long to find a good source that I finally gave up and am now importing this high quality master mechanic shim kit directly from Germany. Each shim is extremely accurate in thickness. The shim washers are 11.5 mm in diameter and will work on all Mercedes passenger car diesels from 1958 to 1993.
