You likely could have just showed the car without the biofuel. Most folks have little exposure to diesels and they are not all that common in cars.

I went to the grocery store last night and picked up 2 gallons of veggie oil (soy was cheapest so thats what I got). Tossed 'em into the tank of the 190D, printed out a "BioFuel FAQ" and it drew people like moths to a light. They wanted to know the mileage and what modifications I'd made (none) how much the oil cost and how much could I use and on and on. I ran it and I'd say the soy oil smells better than canola I'd used the past. I'd originally wanted to use corn but thats $1.50 a gallon more and I figured I was already economically unsustainable enough... Anyway a guy with a beautiful old Mustang won a nice little trophy. I don't care so many people actually thanked me for bringing my car out that it was totally worth it... -Curt _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
