Re: Alternative Fuels Thread - BioDiesel - Veggie Oil WVO/SVO

ahhh yes in with the soybean oil!

Justin I can't believe how much power I get with this alternative fuel! I can get up to 85 easy on the road, and I get awesome mpg! The smell is great, it smells like a hardcore greek resturant...

Im gona continue to run on veggie oil untill winter hits, because it get very cold here and I dont have a heated setup. Maybe mixing some kero or diesel to the fuel can make it unfrozen?

Thanks for your help!


VEGGIE OIL IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Alternative Fuels Thread - BioDiesel - Veggie Oil WVO/SVO

Well today I saw my injector return line hoses leaking veggie oil all over on top of the injector! I guess this tells me that my hoses are bad?

Re: Alternative Fuels Thread - BioDiesel - Veggie Oil WVO/SVO

Today is cold up here in new york, and since its a cold day, my benz knocks a lot while idling at a light, and I have slugish power while driving. Since its cold today I suspect it has to do with the fuel, so If it still continues to be cold everyday I will switch to diesel or mix. Though right now Im still runing on 100% veggie oil...

Anyone trying that new low sulfur diesel? Any changes of your cars performance or notice a lot less smoke?

RE: Alternative Fuels Thread - BioDiesel - Veggie Oil WVO/SVO

I did the most stupidestestest thing ever while having this car.

I filled up my car today with 10gallons of veggie oil and then head out for a drive, 30mins later... I came back home and left my car on, I came to the rear passenger side of the car and leaned down while I put my hand on the rear fender, I slipped on something with my hand and fell to the floor, ( i was trying to see something under the car) Anyway when I fell to the floor I looked to see what my hand slipped on and I see that theres oil all over the rear right fender! I said to myself " God dammit I forgot to put the fuel cap back on" I feel so stupid, and this was the second time I did this!!! First time was on my mothers 300E! I need some rest....

Re: Alternative Fuels Thread - BioDiesel - Veggie Oil WVO/SVO

Yea after pouring the veggie oil in the car I left the funnel sit for a while to let it drain whatever is left, then I took the funnel out and close the fuel door, thats my mistake I forgot to put the fuel cap back on....

Re: Alternative Fuels Thread - BioDiesel - Veggie Oil WVO/SVO

Hey! What do people say when you tell them your car runs on veggie oil?!?

Most of them say that I need a thousand dollar set up to run my car on veg, but I always tell them no. All I do is pour it straight into my tank and the diesel engine runs off of it! Thats where it gets them, and they start to not believe me! They always ask me this queshion " If you can run it off straight out of your tank, how come the american economy help struggle farmers make veggie oil, and stop fighting other countries for oil"

Thats the most frequent queshion I get asked, people are so amuzed about my car!!!
