I went to look at this dead car. Looked nice except for hood clear coat was gone. Interior nice. I lift up the ashtray door and see this panel with a temp gauge and a big switch that says VEG OIL. WTF.
I look in the trunk and there’s a tank and plumbing, heating lines or something. I ask the woman she says they added the veg oil thing in like 2005. Collected and filtered restaurant oil and used that. I suggested this was why the car was dead. She said some mech replaced the injectors but it’s still no go. I suggested this was why the engine was dead, maybe the injection pump or whatever. It's dead, Jim. I offered $300 thinking I could put the smashed car engine in this car and have another nice E300. It’s not a turbo and the veg stuff would have to go so I guess that would be some challenge. She said someone else was coming to look at it so declined my offer but has my info. I picked up the 99 E300 today, battery needs to be charged. Will see what the story is with it. I hate the white/beige. --FT Sent from iPhone _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
