I've been lurking and reading the messages for several months. It was my
original intention to set up
the biodiesel refining equipment in our garage, but the wife says "No way."
So I will do the next best thing
and buy biodiesel from a local producer. He says he can deliver to my house
for no charge if I have a
200 gallon tank. I'd like to put it in the garage in a corner near the
garage door on the floor with a hank
crank to pump the biodiesel out via a hose into our two VW TDI Golfs ('99 &
'03). The tank can't be more than 31" in diameter.
I can't find a source on the web but I am hoping that one of you knows a
source for the tank and a compatible
crank. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Dean

Don't hold back Doug, tell 'em what you really think, Ha!
Those of us who have a weathered Benz wouldn't think of going any other
way. It must be one of those "things".

Your other choice is an old school MB but since some of them barely

30 mpg for a very heavy, very safe/solid 4-dr sedan running on any form
of Bio-diesel is one hell of a lot preferable to ANY 'gasser' @ 35 mpg. I
was always impressed with the 30+ miles/gallon my 1980 300D gave me.
In addition this 59 yr old life-long car-freak will state without
hesitation, that the 300D was THE best car I've ever driven. The best
handling, the safest, the most road-worthy by far. I'm not a reluctant or
slow driver. I was warned I'd not be satisfied with the Mercedes because
it would be slow. I never was!! I pushed the (#*%&%*&^$ out of that car
and was always happy with the performance. It's a heavy, well-made diesel
torgue-monster - it can take it. In addition, mine wasn't even the
turbo-diesel!
I'm now looking for another - the best I can find to replace my newer gas
Mercedes.
These babies are not only a smart buy for bio-fuel folk, but they are
nothing less than the best cars on the road! (o.k. I have a bias).
Also, they imported some MB diesels in the mid-late nineties. Again...
great cars!

P.S. By the way, the Mitsubishi Coup that slammed into me from behind and
drove me totally through a major intersection... was destroyed all the
way up to the windshield. My 300D was totally unscathed! The only sign of
being hit was a few pieces of glass embedded in the hard rubber on the
back bumper! Can a Focus take that?
