The 82-85 w123/w126's would be the cheapest and best to convert to Svo.... Frybrid makes the best Svo kits on the market...

WVO

LoveCraft makes a good kit for 77-85 mercedes. I ahve a 1980 running on it for a year, no problems. Newer than 85 will have problems on one tank systems. Look at golden fuels for a 2 tank system.

Lovecrap is the worst of every "conversion" in existence. NO car should EVER be run with a single tank "conversion", especially one so poorly designed. There is no climate on earth warm enough to use a single tank "conversion" without causing damage.

In fact, NO car should ever be run on WVO or SVO. It illegal, its bad for the environment, its harmful to the car and its a wasteful use of a good resource.

If you want to use a bio fuel, use legal, safe, clean BioDiesel.

a fnd got 1 installed in his w123 , dual tank, it worked well except it needs 23 mins of driving before it will switch to 2nd tank, but he rarely drives >23 mins in most of his driving. He will benefit it if driven on longer stretch.
Now his 2nd car he didnt bother to do 2 tanks.

i mix F used veg oil, or atf 50/50 seems to be doing well.

he did it not because of economic reason, he had money thats all. The money he spent on all these conversions, cars he will only see a fractions of it back.
for ennvironmental reason he will be much better off do more walking thats all.

OT what if everybody start using plug EVs , where is our govt find the massive road tax revenue?
Or majority of cars gets 50 mpg, that will be 1/2 of gas consumed.

That is false. It drastically reduces the life of the vehicle, consuming more resources to make its replacement. VO also has much higher emissions than diesel (that "french fry" smell is a result of dirty combustion).

what if everybody start using plug EVs
Impossible. There aren't enough resources in the world to make enough batteries. Even the current hybrid models strain the worlds mines.

Stop trying to excuse your THEFT. Your buddy is a THIEF, simple as that.

None of your MBs get anywhere near that, they would be lucky to see half.

i dont need to argue with u, if u need to argue get a gun and go argue with folks in the middle east. Or did the kid did in arizona. U nothing but a PITA here. Your view had been posted here far too many times. If u really need to made a better point u need backings of Al Gore, david Suzuki, open up your enviro, political correct blog. we're a bunch of people trying to get by with less money.
if u come up to canada i can give u the address to arrest or shoot that guy too.

Stop trying to excuse your THEFT. Your buddy is a THIEF, simple as that.

u should stop all folks doing that, by whatever means, dont be a damn coward here, as a armchair enforcer!

Right, because that requires thought. Its easier for you to just run away like you do with tax obligation and environmental responsibilities.

Over what? The 22% of our oil we get from them?

U nothing but a PITA here.
"U" is not a word. If you intend to insult me it helps if you speak intelligently so that what you say actually means something.

If u really need to made a better point u need backings of Al Gore, david Suzuki
Why would I want liars like them to support me?

we're a bunch of people trying to get by with less money.
Then ride the bus, carpool, ride a bike or walk. Hell, hitchhike!
Being poor isn't an excuse to steal from your fellow countrymen.

u do have a lot of internal issues that the very reason u need to be self righteous, branding everybody a thief, liar.
I bet u cant look into a mirror to have a good look at yourself. U cannot be at peace with yourself and everybody else. I take u have more fingers in 1 hand than u have as friends.
God help u.

Why would an invisible man in the sky, whos plan is "perfect" by the way, be persuaded to change said perfect plan based on your desire or opinion? What if God is actually on MY side? How would you know?
