[diesel_mercedes] Diesel HPR Fuel

 



Will do ! .

So far not a weep / seep from the hoses , I'm pretty sure they've all been replaced by now , not Viton , just regular German made Diesel rated 7MM hose .

The car runs better , no question about it , this with a bad I.P. and maybe some top end issues in the engine .

The '82 240D automatic is next ~ it's fuel turned coffee colored recently , no chunks when I removed and cleaned the intake screen yesterday ~ I want to finish up the 1/2 tank of Dino Diesel in it now , using Startron, then I'll begin using HPR Bio-Fuel .

Supposedly there's a station finder OnLine but none of my computers can get past their home page .

I'd love a direct link to the HPR filling station finder .

I never did find B100 anywhere in So. Cal. else I'da tried it .

There's an indie Valero Station in Pasadena that is also a Garage , they recently put out a white w/ navy interior 1980 240D with stick shift , $4,500 , I wasn't impressed but it maybe is still original paint , no dents etc.

Max has a 240D for sale cheaply , no one seems to want it .

Nate, please keep us posted on your results with this new fuel.  When I lived in San Francisco a few years ago I ran B100 in my 240 with great results, but it did take a bit of investment to change over all the fuel lines to viton material to stop them from deteriorating.  I've been reading up on this Diesel HPR you're using, which is made through a different chemical process than Biodiesel, but haven't found anything about whether it affects rubber.  I have read that it meets the ULSD diesel standard and can be used in any diesel (not the case for B100) so I presume it does not affect the rubber fuel lines.

Sounds like this is promising, and I sure hope it cures your fungus problem for good!

BTW, I miss my MB diesel and I'm looking at buying another one early next year.  I'm thinking W124 this time, as it's getting harder and harder to find a nice W123 for a reasonable price.

Best to all from hot & humid Charlotte, NC.
