sorry, i have another question.. my wheels are always turning in my poutine filled skull.. if im goig to do a wvo conversion .. will that allow me to use a crdi engine(common rail) ???as amazing as those old mercedes are... id rather have something newer... maybe a 2012 Toyota Fortuner, the only reason id pay a high price for an old ironclad benz is because i thought it would just run on wvo without changing a thing...
your input would be amazing big guy...

sorry.. still catching up here.. i CAN use direct injection.. DI.. and i have to install a secondary tank for this ????im sorry, im trying to have the most piece of mind method possible here.. i will forget.. i know this... will i get caramalized cylinder wall if i start and turn off the motor on only wvo ??? and 1 fuel filter will not last 10,000 km ??? and the only way to flush my system is to switch from wvo to diesel 5 minutes before shutting off the motor ?? i can do that... it will cost extra.. but.. the collant line going into the secondary tank will heat up the wvo.. that is a good thing, i was simply hoping to go as simple as possible and do what they did on mythbusters.. just wvo directly into the fuel tank.. .. ill look around and see if i can find a wvo conversion shop near the capital...Leave a comment:

You can do that, Di is fine using WVO, I run a HDJ80 91 landcruiser on WVO and it's Di. But you need a flush tank so at the end of the day you can flush your fuel system with dino and you must make sure you settle and filter the VO before putting it in your tank, you can use cheap shopping bags or old T shirts to do that. Otherwise you will end up with blocked fuel lines, stuffed injectors and ip, irrelevant whether it's iDi or Di. You also have to realise that using VO in your vehicle will result in all the diesel bugs coating the inside of the tanks and lines will be killed and released into the fuel until they are all gone and that can take ages depending on how old the car is. It also means you may go through a few filters pretty quick, most put small cheap inline filters in they can throw away during this period. I installed new long range tanks, so no problems with bugs. I do lots of trips in my cruiser, some over 3000klms each year, which isn't a lot in Aus and the car does it effortlessly.
What you intend doing will work, but it will still be better to flush the engine even with iDi, or you may shorten the life of it with caramelised VO building up in the cylinders. All you need it a small tanks, mine is 2.5lt and it uses 1lt to flush the fuel system and send it back to the tank. Or if the system doesn't have a return to tank for overflow, just switch to dino and le it idle for 5 minutes and that should burn most of the VO out of the fuel.Leave a comment:

what is the absolute best car for WVO long distance driving..
Hi, I'm a french Canadian that moved to the Philippines.. please forgive me if my English isnt UK perfect....
since i reside in a country where it is 30c + daily.. i figured i can run any diesel car on wvo without any conversion.. i WANTED a 83 mercedes 200D but the AC was broken and so was the lift pump.. so i figured .. i can find better... wanted a toyota Fortuner it is a big suv that runs on diesel... or how about the mercedes smart fortwo cdi... the first model that ever came to Canada.. i heard it was diesel and a buddy of mine drove from Montreal to Florida and spent only 19$ on fuel to warm up the wvo.. but.. alot of Quebecers are full of sh!t.. so im asking some of you slightly more educated than myself for your advise.. i am aware that i will need alot of spare filters ( the kind that have a water separastor) in my car to replace them on the go.. and something called BIO-kleen.. to eliminae growth or stuff.. but with the tempeature here, i can just poor it straight into the fuel tank like mythbusters.. and just go.. driving on deep fried chicken oil (although.. it wont be vegetable oil per say.. it will be used coconut oil and used palm oil)
but i found out that common rail is n bueno for wvo.. and DI is also no good.. leaves me with IDI... and i think they used an old 300D on mythbusters..
it is a 5cyl inline.. IDI i believe.. so.. what year of the 300D is the last IDI ? i want something as recent as possible.. i had to swap the umm cardan in Montreal on a 93 ford probe gt.. the metal stick between transmission and front right wheel... it was so seized it took me 3 days to yank it out.. rust...
merci and thank you...
sooo.. 84 mercedes 300D is the perfect one ??? i want to run my motor to power my AC on boat rides between the 8000 islands of the Philippines.. and not worry about burning expensive petrol
merci and thank you
