it might depend on what you mean by "non-conventional fuel", but i can
tell you that the ~75K+ miles i have on almost exclusively B99-B100 has
been in an '85 300D California model. (this car went through at least 2
open campaigns with Mercedes to replace the original Particulate Trap
with something else, then replace that with something else again,... but
that last one was back at ~121K miles, just before it's life on BioD
started.)
the issues related to modern vehicles not doing well on BioD is
related to the Late Post-Injection systems, not so much the Particulate
Trap itself. keep in mind that there are little-to-no particulates from
BioD; my left rear bumper stays almost perfectly clean (unlike when
running #2!).
cheers!

I just thought of something else. One of my 300TD wagons has a trap
oxidizer. Would that make it more sensitive to nonconventional fuel?

safest answer? none.
if you live where it's particularly hot and regularly do a lot of
long-distance driving you might get away with it for a while without adding
your car to the pile of cars that have been destroyed by people doing
exactly that.

Ok - next question. How many gallons of filtered WVO can I add to the10
gallons of diesel fuel that is currently in the tank without damaging
anything? Tank capacity is nominally 18.6 gallons.

Andrew,
If you make longer trips a wvo conversion would be good for you as there
are folks advertising already filtered wvo on craigslist in the VA area
for
around $2 per gallon. Wvo is no good for short trips. Wvo is not
biodiesel
until it is processed.
