| RE: Interested in 300d for WVO conversion JUMP ON IT, NO CONVERSION NECESSARY!
This 3.0L IDI is a super hearty diesel engine. As you may know, diesels were invented to run on peanut oil, but newer designs prevent easy combustion of less volatile oils like this. Our engines will run on very high percentages of WVO, I am currently running 75% WVO with absolutly no adverse effects. If you live in the south you will be able to run, at least, 50% during the colder months (20% if you live in the north). Forget the SVO two tank conversions, they're a waste of money and take up too much trunk space. All you will need to do is mix a small amount of petrodiesel, kerosene or biodiesel into your WVO. I'm going to try 100% WVO on my next tank just to see if it will start, since starting is the major downfall of SVO systems.
