RE: WVO Conversion problem

The best advice is to skip the WVO conversion and go directly to burning biodiesel. You can phase in the percentage bio-D and this will avoid the problems associated with freeing up all of the gunk in your tank. The benefit of bio-diesel over WVO is that you don't have all of the issues related to coking but you do get the lubricity benefits.

1979 250 GD Cabrio - A very unique machine consisting of a prototype G frame (the only one known to have escaped the factory alive) paired up with a 250D engine. 5 speed transmission (the same one used in the Sprinter van). These are coupled with a prototype 463 Cabrio body that replaced the old rusty 460 Cabrio body. Body is unique in that the tailgate opens like a door on a stationwagon rather than like a truck tailgate. The latest addition is the Schmude 5 piece hardtop that gives plenty of flexibility without having to remove the entire hardtop for open air driving.
