Re: [Biofuel] 82 Mercedes Turbo Diesel

Hello Tom, it seems that you have done everything right, maybe with the exeption that you should have proper tools in the trunk for changing filters if necesarry. But I doubt that you will need them though, assuming that your BD is of high quality.   Best of luck to you !

It is clean, rust-free, and very well maintained, but has never run on BD.      Could someone familiar with Mercedes of this vintage comment on my checklist of things to do:      -Remove in-tank fuel screen  (Car already has a prefilter and a fuel filter accessible from above).      -Set timing back 2 -3 degrees.      -Keep a couple of prefilters and in-line filters in the trunk.      -The hoses and seals appear to be in very good condition. I don't plan on replacing them.          I have diesel mechanics in the family who are willing to do whatever is necessary, but their area of expertise is buses, so any info. would be appreciated.                                               Tom     _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
