[Biofuel] question's
I was wondering if someone could help me find out how I can convert my 1980 Mercedes 300sd Turbo Diesel to biodiesel ? I have been doing some research but have not been able to find out what I need to do to the vehicle itself. I am very new to all of this but am very interested in making it work it sounds so sensible I can't believe more people aren't aware of this alternative.I live in S.F.- Bay Area so if anyone has information for this area I would appreciate it.Thankyou.
