Why not! I've been doing it for 8 years. My first car a 77 240D went over 100k
and ran better when I sold it than when I bought it. It was always a slug. But
could do 65 or 70 on the road. Make it over the grapevine to San Diego from San
Francisco and Make it to Seattle on one trunk of fuel. 72 gallons. That's 10 5
gallon cubes and tilting the car sideways I could get 22 gallons into the tank.
You can't use the car as a town car anymore. Minimum of 10 miles per trip.
Line heaters or a veg therm in line to heat the fuel is mandatory although I've
seen some just use a vormax or coolant heat. So yes they do smoke but since
these cars only cost a couple of thousand each if I blow one up (which I never
did) who cares. Very cost effective. I do have to say I lost one 300Turbo to a
loud knocking in the motor & I lost a 6.2 Suburban to a connecting rod going
through the case. This is over an 8 year period. The Suburban is still
running. With an engine replacement. A bunch of kids drove it to San Diego from
San Francisco and back and it's just being used by one of them. Lawrence Rhodes
