Hello Fine People,
I'd like to share with you some photos of my latest conversion for a Mercedes 300D 1976.
This car has done about 180,000 Km and it is in almost mint condition.
Owned by a good man who deserves to have such a beauty.
I have uses two 30 flat plates heat exchangers.
one before the CAV and one before the IP.
It was a challenge to fit things in this engine bay
because the car comes with a self levelling suspension
and the bottle as you all know is in the way .
I am running wvo in the main tank and the start up tank is a cubee at the boot as usual.
To fit one of the FPHE on the driver side,
I bought the bracket that holds the self levelling suspension bottle.
The bracket comes in two shapes left hand and right hand.
In this case I bough the driver side bracket.
Then I made up a bracket to hold the CAV filter and also another bracket
to hold the other FPHE on the other side of the engine bay.
The FPHE before the IP will share both fuels and since there is always
some wvo going to the starter tank via the return line
when changing over the starter fuel will always provide enough lubrication
no matter how hot it gets. Besides it will not be used for too long anyways.
