Our grease car is for sale $5700
1984 Mercedes-Benz 300TDT... It was converted to a plantdrive single tank system 1.5 yrs ago- approximately 8,000 greasy miles since then with absolutely no problems. This is a great example of a low mileage 300 with a strong shifting transmission and beautiful lines. It has the factory 3rd row seat w/seatbelts, and the self-leveling rear suspension works as well- a rare find. There are only several things that may require attention: to charge the air conditioner, as it was not blowing as cool at the end of the summer, the vacuum door locks lose pressure, but operate fine while the car is running. For example, the driver's side lock will open with the key, and then one must either pull up the other locks by hand inside, or start the vehicle and all the doors will unlock on their own. We will also include our oil pumping setup and remaining filters with the purchase, a plantdrive setup with the wand, pump, and spigot.


We purchased the WVO conversion kit from plantdrive.com and had it installed by our mechanic here in Cabot. Who has done all of our maintenance. Within the past year to year and a half we have replaced the glow pugs and all four tires. Then last week we replaced the battery which was 9 years old. We are the fourth owners but the previous owners have passed down most of the maintenance records from years past.

I have real problems with Biodiesel. The oxides of nitrogen(NOX) levels actually exceed regular diesel. Nox is a real big part of photochemical smog. I live in southern CA. We need to cure the problem with biodiesel or quit touting it as the next best thing to sliced bread

I'd never tried using biofuel ever since to my ford mustang cars (ford mustang parts), but got heard it was too cheaper and very economical. I would like converting mine to it. that's very interesting!

My wife and I have been using biofuel for 2 years, now from a company called Biofuelbasics.com and pay only 45 cents per gallon.

I converted my vehicle to run on grease. I bought an old F-250 pickup truck for just that purpose. Sure, a big pickup truck is usually considered about as green Halliburton; but, even though it burns a lot of fuel, none of that contributes to greenhouse gases. ( I'm also looking at doing a similar thing with an older Mercedes-Benz).

I burns waste vegetable oil, which I get from restaurants in town. I filter out the french fry bits and put it in the tank.

Jennifer (and anybody else), you don't need to convert anything on a diesel vehicle to use biodiesel- you can put biodiesel directly into the tank, and run on it. The engines love it.

Vegetable oil is different from biodiesel, and using that does require that you convert your fuel system. That's what I have done. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oil, but its not the same thing.

If you have a diesel vehicle, like a Volkswagon TDI, a Mercedes, or a and would like to use biodiesel, I recommend first to find out if there is a retail station near you that sells it.
Here's a webpage to find that out.

My husband and I have been saving to get our vehicles converted and to buy a home biodiesel production kit. We are very excited.
