love my mercedes
bschwartz:
I think my 1982 Mercedes 300SD will run on butter or chicken fat.....
It started this morning without issues on 90% WVO/10% RUG (petrol)........ it was 20 degrees F ( that is -6.6 C)
Granted, the back window doesn't work, the AC doesn't work, the cruise control crapped out a long time ago, the interior is cracking from age and heat......
..... but it ALWAYS starts and gets me where I need to go.
LowGear:
Wow Bret,
Is this a brag? I sure hope so. I'm looking for Cherokee stick so I stick a Merc engine into it. And look at the prices of these proud stallions here in Hawaii.

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/big/cto/4260860828.html OK, both riggs are pretty nice looking units but these cars are 30 years old. I see dogs being advertised for $3K.
Pretty neat huh.

bschwartz:
Would you like to come to New Mexico to purchase one here?
Hawaii isn't the only place where people think these old cars are worth a small fortune......

LowGear:
Getting a true Arizona or New Mexico car is just a fantasy for most of us here in Paradise. It doesn't get or stay green without lots of moisture. $11,000 is just a click above the dream for me. And these units are just too big for me for just running around.
We all know of these "perfect" solutions. I always wonder why they need to be improved? We're just too smart for our own good.

Maybe I should try some duck fat too.
My old Toyota is a 4WD 2.0L normally aspirated Diesel one ton. Old, but still does the job.
Still sitting level with about 1800 pounds of iron on the back.
