&lt;br/&gt;S-Class Mercedes (Top of the line) with "single tank conversion" from Lovecraft runs on 100% vegetable oil = free fuel! Can also run on biodiesel or diesel (and any combination of the 3). I'll be happy to show you how to collect, filter, and fill with free used vegetable oil. 
&lt;br/&gt;175,000 miles. No rust. Very safe car, tank-like. Peppy turbo. A/C works. NEW: brakes (calipers, pads, master cylinder), 4 tires, A/C service, engine mounts, engine shocks, steering box. Known issues: oil leak at turbo charger, engine noise, some dash instruments don't work. This car is not drivable until the oil leak is fixed. It starts and idles, but loses oil. My mechanic says $400 to fix the leak.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;NExBTL diesel, in contrast to rapeseed methyl ester, is a clear and colorless paraffin, and contains no oxygen. It is used to improve the quality of petro-diesel; its' quality is higher since it has a homogenous source, namely plant-synthesized fatty acids. It doesn't require any special engine repairs and it doesn't foul systems like ester biodiesel. It is produced by direct hydrogenation of the plant oil (chemically, triglyceride) into alkane, water and carbon oxides on a nickel-molybdenum catalyst. The total CO2 produced in the entire lifecycle is only 0.45 to 1.33 kg CO2/kg oil, in contrast to transesterified fuel with 1.4-2.0 kg CO2/kg oil, or mineral diesel with 3.4 kg CO2/kg oil. [www.termo.hut.fi/Ene-39/006/biodiesel1.ppt] Therefore, it's not only an "oil derivative" like ester.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;I just joined this tribe, so please excuse me for my layman terminology...
&lt;br/&gt;I don't know much about cars, except that I need one for work soon, yet I refuse to get one that will only make me have a guilty consciousness...
&lt;br/&gt;I have been given a beaten up old 1982 Mazda RX 7, probably doesn't work and will need buttloads of work to make it run. I originally wanted to get a diesel, so i would have the chance to use biodiesel/veggie oil.. Yet since this has been given to me,and I am a sucker for DIY, no matter how much it might need to run.. I am curious if it is possible to either convert the existing engine, or just replace it....
&lt;br/&gt;If anybody can help me out, I'd appreciate it..
&lt;br/&gt;Cheers

&lt;br/&gt;I would love to be your conversion slave. I work for free and only need a place to throw up a tent or a sleeping bag. Nourishment is also accepted, but i am getting ahead of my self. I am very mechanically inclined, as i do personal work on a '83 300D Mercedes, and have done so on a few previous non diesel vehicle. My moral and energy is always high and positive, and I work until the job is done right. I am willing a positive and creative environment where I may be able to learn the process on any diesel vehicle. The desire to learn arises from being resourceful in using a waste product as fuel and to eventually convert my own car. I may also have the pleasure of taking the skill to South Africa in February, where I will be creating dwellings out of clay and earth. Let’s enjoy each other!&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;  So far so good for the conversion.  It's a Murray-Briggs and Straton 4.5hp(don't buy one of these, seriously) which has broken on me at least six times in the past year and I haven't even owned it a year yet.  I bought it from Home Depot with a two-year warranty, after it broke I found out the warranty doesn't cover engines!  First the gas tank was rusting out clogging up the fuel screen with rust particles, so I took it off and coated the inside of the tank with gas tank paint.  Then the carb gasket wouldn't seal right so I replaced that, then the push button primer dry rotted and stopped working.  Then the o-ring on the manifold wouldn't seal so the engine would surge and barely idle.  Sigh.  I bought this stupid thing because it was cheap and I had no intention of experimenting with alcohol-conversion on a $350 Honda mower.  I was looking for a used mower originally but couldn't find one.
&lt;br/&gt;  So after fixing all these things and having the carb apart the last time, I added a motorcycle fuel filter, cutting the pickup screen off the end of the pickup tube, replaced the Champion spark plug with an NGK v-groove one, and bored out the main jet on the carb.  These are the two main things to converting a gasoline engine to alcohol, hotter spark and a slightly richer mixture.  The smallest drill bit you can get at pretty much any hardware store is a 1/16"(I hate imperials, BTW).  This is still way, way too big.  I found a machinist supply shop here in Lafayette, LA and they had all kinds of tiny drill bits to choose from.  I found one slightly bigger than the plastic main jet on the carb and hand twisted it in.  The bit cost $1.30.  Carb rebuild kit $6.60.  The other thing I had to make sure I had access to was a local supply of ethanol(usually hot rod or speed shops).  The price went up recently, I checked on it a while back and it was $3/gal, now it's $3.50(this has very little to do with dino crude prices).  I do have a still to make my own ethanol and the price per gallon for me will drop to about $.50/gal.
&lt;br/&gt;  Anyhoo, I fired it up with a 80/20 mixture of gas to ethanol.  It ran way, way rich.  So much that it fouled out the plug.  It also used a lot more fuel to cut the yard than it did before, about a 1/3.  I cleaned off the plug and added straight alcohol and it runs fine.  I plan to run the opposite mixture now, 20/80.  The only idle adjustment on the carb is bending a throttle spring which I want to reset one more time.  I think I did overbore the main jet too much though.  Make certain when you size up the drill bit that's only one or two sizes up from the actual size of the jet bore.  I.e. find a bit that will just pass through the jet no problem, then go up from there.  Since I will be making my own fuel the economy of the motor isn't so important.  &lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Howdy Veggers
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here is the text of my new Ebay ad.  Send it only to those who have courage and gentleness, strong backs and broad hips, or something like that.  It is titled (to attract Fat Older White Men With Money) "FOR SALE: MY ATTRACTIVE WIFE AND  BUS"
&lt;br/&gt;=================
&lt;br/&gt;Well, I'm actually only selling an "image" of my attractive wife now. EBay rejected my first ad, and the wife weren’t too pleased either. She got on her computer, went to EBay and listed me in Antiques, subcategory "Jerks" so I guess I got what I deserved.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So what am I really selling in this ad? Well, what’s it to you? Are you here to buy a very good high quality long lasting rugged and powerful diesel bus from me, or give me hard time? I would definitely do the former, because I have a terrible temper and poor emotional control in most situations (except when helping a grateful and satisfied customer with their high quality ultra durable best deal on the Net rugged and capable diesel bus, or parts.)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You can see all the buses I got, it's ridiculous at this point. I'm getting 3-4 more this month. So why would a otherwise sane person be doing this?? (selling buses, not wives) Well read on my son, read on.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I do this bus thing to support my fabulous non-profit, the Wheelchair Project. My wife and I went to Central America (that was my first wife, she ran away with one of my buses, a tall strapping young triple axle with a full head of hair and a devil may care Bad Boy attitude. I still see them around town now and then, and it still hurts) and had kids brought to us who were either very sick, going deaf, etc. and it was just from lack of very simple stuff like clean water, and medicines you could get at Wal-Mart for three bucks. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So, we either had a chance to face it, or act like we didn’t see it, so we decided to face it. So we helped raise 9000 bucks, and sent it to some scam artists who were supposed to be legitimate (Hey I DIDN”T choose these folks, the group did) and went we got to Nicaragua, the hospital hadn’t been destroyed, they never heard of us, and the only thing that got down there was the 15 boxes of supplies we hand carried, and little cases of ampicillin and penicillin we bought in Mexico City.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So after that, I decided to never give away the Do Rey Mee, but to go in person and at least check the stuff into the hospital, school, etc. Then if it got stolen it would still go into some person’s sick behind, or under some wheelchair needy person’s fanny (I send lots of wheelchair, so my thing is called the Wheelchair Project)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;By now you may we thinking, “Is he ever gonna get to the bus for sale?”
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ok, I’ll start, but only after reminding you that I’m going to Haiti in about 2 months, gonna ship a Ford bus with a healthy CAT motor, full of the stuff the folks requested (school supplies, generators, Honda Trail 90 motorbikes, medical supplies, a copy machine, etc…..no junk or used clothing please!)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So when you buy a high quality near eternal timeless hand crafted bus of bliss from me, I will take said money and buy more stuff for the project, or bend over deeply then write the check to get the bus through the Panama Canal (6 Grand, oh I love it) or change the differential (the bus only goes 50) and drive it to Miami, great fun in a noisy front engine bus with a sheet of plywood/wall right behind the driver.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;But enough about me. What do YOU think about my project?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;OK you wanna bus, I gotta bus. How about a mid 70’s Gillig or Crown? Why these models you say? Because the are simply the best, unequalled in quality, and bonehead simple for boneheads like you (and your extended family) and me.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;These buses were built by hand (both left AND right) and sold for over 100 thousand George Washingtons back in the day, and that was back when 20 bucks could buy you a Deusenberg or an entire politician. Kids nowadays, nothing but a bunch of lazy gang bangers, driving around with that loud “music” blasting….Boy I could just grab one of ‘em by the neck and squeeze until their eyes pop, but I can’t because I teach in the public schools (20 years of tears, laughter and spineless administrators)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;OK I guess I’ll sell you the Crown bus I have. It is a good bus. It is very clean. It bathes regularly, goes to church on Saturday (I don’t know why either) and will give you years of love affection and loyalty.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It’s a 1970 Crown, with a healthy and happy 220 horsepower Cummins and a 5 speed transmission. (ONLY 220 horsepower in a 19,000 lb behemoth?) Yes, only 220 horsepower, but it produces it at about 1800 RPM, and would squash your SUV like the overpriced insect that it is, and just drive right on without even a glance back.) The engine is 743 cubic inches of six cylinder hell, built for torque, and will haul 15,000 lbs without even blinking a headlight. I know, I’ve done it a time or 8. The tires are good too. They are really. They are all Michelins, tubeless, with the biggest size on a bus, 12R x 22.5. (Are you bidding yet? I can hold for a minute while you do…)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The bus is almost perfect inside, and 100% original and stock like the day it left the factory. I’ve already put about 400 miles on this bus, and let me tell you, it towed perfectly behind the wrecker. But seriously, it’s a great bus, clean, starts and runs and drives like Rolls Royce, handles like a Ferrari, and gets better mileage than those new hybrid cars. I regularly get 40-42 miles per quart, and only fill up every third Leap Year, and even then these old engines will run on bathtub water, dirt, or old paint from your neighbor’s garage.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And if you’re one of this long haired wiseacres that smokes that stuff and thinks they know everything, then this bus can easily be converted to veggie oil. I have some young friends who smell vaguely like rotting cabbage, but they can convert a bus over to veggie faster than you can say pass the bong. But they’re only good until about 4:20 in the afternoon, then after that, park your bus and lock it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;But they will help you if you wanted to go veggie or biodiesel, I’m just too busy to explore the technology right now.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And I hope you realize that I’m not just selling This Bus alone. I am violating every rule made by God and EBay, and hoping they won't notice that I am trying to hustle everything I own with one ad. I’ve got other buses and lots of parts for sale. I even work on buses (once again a crappy way to make a buck, but you do meet lots of nice people, and their wives too if you play it right) and I learn from every job I do.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So write call, or just wire directly to my bank account in Zurich. It’s the one next to Jack Abramoff’s, right behind “Duke” Cunningham’s tear stained Certificates of Deposit.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;OK feel free to call me off this site and help me evade EBay’s fees. They pay ABSOLUTELY NO ATTENTION to what I write anyway. Heck, I sold somebody’s mother in law to Liberia about 2 years ago, no problem, smooth transaction.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;OK you can do one of the following:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;1. Call me at home. (559) 251-3814
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;2. Write to my e-mail. It is WheelchairBusProject@yahoo.com
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;3. Go to my web site. That won’t accomplish anything, but nobody goes there, and my URL is lonely and depressed. It’s a good site, loads fast, etc. There are some pictures of my first wife there too, she’s the one holding the meat cleaver. It is http://www.fresnoalliance.com/wheelchairproject
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;4. Have some fun and write me going through (ugh) the traditional EBay channels. Then both you and the other folks who have endured this ad, and have way too much spare time, can read and enjoy my ridiculous answers to your attempted questions. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;OK start bidding. There isn’t that much time. Don’t bid unless you really mean it though. I’ve suffered enough heartbreak and disappointment in life already, will be 50 in about two months, and just don’t need the hassle. But for those lucky few, bid now and bid high. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Bid for yourself, and bid to support the troops. Bid. Now. Bid bid bid bid bid. Get your wife involved. Heck it’s fun for the whole family. A bus looks good in the den or driveway, and can be used as a temporary holding facility for your oldest daughter and her boyfriend when he gets out of jail.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ok gotta go, the wife’s waking up. 
&lt;br/&gt;So BID, bid now, and bid high, …………………because If You Don’t bid, the terrorists will have won.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Hey kids [and old farts]  I wanted to drop in and do a little shameless advertising for my new tribe.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Its called Diesel and/or Diesel Power and its going to deal with all the new advancement in diesel technologies and alternative diesel fuels expanding on both renewable and non-renewable fuel sources. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Since the rise of the price of a barrell of oil and the well muffled general panic that is coming primarily from Suadi Arabia we are looking at a energy shortage. Nobody knows exactly when, but the oil companies themselves are starting to look for alternatives, considering it was the oil companies themselves who had stiffled any other alternatives this is a good sign.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Unfortunatly some of the solutions in the pipeline for the future, arent necessarily the cleanest most environmentally friendly options available and some others take waste products and turn them into clean burning alternatives.  They do however address the need for cheap energy and if they can be scaled more easily than cleaner alternatives we could find ourselves on the same pickle in a different barrell. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The purpose of the tribe is to be informative, so that we all become better informed on what is out there as these other not so clean alternatives pop up.  I have some really interesting {or at least I think its interesting} stuff posted already as well as have some contributions coming in. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I think we all know that bio-diesel will not be able to sustain our demands for fuel. But would you believe you could make diesel from waste woodchips and mix in a little bio-d for lubricity and whammo, you have a clean fuel and you help reduce the waste stream. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anyways I hope that you will join, there are many very interesting topics to discuss and information to share.

So if a small scale system can be perfected it seems ideal. avoids playing with lye and other crap that is required to make biodiesel. the downside is a greater upfront cost in equipment, but i'd rather spend a bit up front to avoid dealing with toxic byproducts that may result from making biodiesel and the engine meltdowns that sometimes occur when burning waste veggie.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;I tried to use bio diesel in this truck and it ran great for about a mile, then it lost power and would only go very slow with very little power. It turned out the fuel injecter pump was fried. $600 part $1800 labor. It had happened about a year before when I had put some 'diesel fuel injector cleaner' in it but I didn't realize that was what had caused the problem because it didn't happen right away. I had read on greasel.com that there wasn't any problems using this vehicle with bio diesel and I'd really like to do this but now I'm a little freaked out about frying the injector pump again. Does anyone know about this or know of a mechanic that deals with bio diesel vehicles?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;When I was switching to bio diesel I started with a quarter tank mixed with regular diesel, then a half tank then three quarters and it ran fine untill it was full biodiesel.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The factory warranty runs out at 120000 miles and I'm at 118000 now so I'm running out of time to figure this out and I might just get rid of it. Not the best time to be selling a vehicle that gets 11.5 mpg!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;at least as clean as you can find when used.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.libertyvegetableoil.com/products.html
&lt;br/&gt;The fire temps of different oils count
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Canola oil--680-690 F
&lt;br/&gt;Soy oil--690-695 F
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable_oil
&lt;br/&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiesel
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;and
&lt;br/&gt;The potential BTU's also count...
&lt;br/&gt;still working on that.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you were wondering how many plants it taks to make a gal
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Soybean: 40 to 50 US gal/acre (40 to 50 m³/km²)
&lt;br/&gt;    * Rapeseed: 110 to 145 US gal/acre (100 to 140 m³/km²)
&lt;br/&gt;    * Mustard: 140 US gal/acre (130 m³/km²)
&lt;br/&gt;    * Jatropha: 175 US gal/acre (160 m³/km²)
&lt;br/&gt;    * Palm oil: 650 US gal/acre (610 m³/km²) [2]
&lt;br/&gt;    * Algae: 10,000 to 20,000 US gal/acre (10,000 to 20,000 m³/km²)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A quote from WIKIPEDIA.ORG
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Soybeans are not a very efficient crop solely for the production of biodiesel, but their common use in the United States for food products has led to soybean biodiesel becoming the primary source for biodiesel in that country. Soybean producers have lobbied to increase awareness of soybean biodiesel, expanding the market for their product."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Still going
&lt;br/&gt;JT&lt;/div&gt;
