I haven't converted the truck yet, as I just got it, and I have a few more pressing matters on it, mainly, power brake assist. The Mercedes ran fine so long as I fired it up and shut it down on dino diesel fuel. I had a two gallon tank under the hood for said purpose. I ran the WVO in the vehicle's stock tank, using a custom heated fuel pickup. Fuel then traveled to the engine compartment inside a heater hose, with a VW heated oil filter put into service as the WVO's final filtering media before entering the IP. Lines from the IP to the injectors had tape heaters. Like my new truck's 7.3 IDI, the 3.0L 5 cylinder engine powering the Benz sedan was a pre-chamber, straight mechanical diesel motor.

IDK, all I can say is that when Henry built his T, it had been designed to run on corn, and that capability was present in even the Model A. When Rudolph built the diesel, he designed it to run on peanuts. Ford fought with Rockefeller and the U.S. ended up with prohibition. Alcohol production for fuel changed from then on out. Rudolph disappeared mysteriously while traveling to Britain to sell his veggie burner there, and within a year, his engine legacy was running on a waste by-product of John D's petroleum. The Middle East has been a strategic war zone just about ever since!
