Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Can these things run on used engine oil?

Someone recently suggested that he ran his 1985 turbo diesel on a combo of
regular diesel and old used engine oil, mixed 50-50.

Anyone ever know of this kind of a fuel mix. Old oil is probably free in
lots of places, especially my drive way.

Don't think the issues is what they will run on, but what the fuel pump will survive on.

    Something's wrong here. 
 
    A 300TD is a wagon, not a 4 door.  Do you mean 300D turbo sedan? 
 
    Misdescription of a 123 platform car should not affect the hood spring issue, however.  
 
    If you put the hood all the way up, 90 degrees, pointing straight at the sky, the end of the spring on the hood should be lose and easily manipulated.  The spring only develops tension when the hood is in the angled up position.  That's why they have the little locking levers on the hinge, to hold the hood in the upright position, since there' no spring tension. 
 
    These springs have some muscle in them.  You don't want to be trying to manipulate them with vice grips and having them slip and catch a finger.  Remember that this is good German engineering.  You put the hood in the right position, it should be easy to work on - generally, put any part on these cars in the right position and it is easier to work on.

Yes it works.Mix fuel then filter down to 5 microns.Used ATF is rocket fuel to our diesels.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Wash Your Bottoms

 


I too like a clean under carriage but I've seen up close & personal the damage done by steam cleaning & pressure washing so now a days I cold wash it using de greaser and a brush then my garden hose .

Once water gets forced into places it sghouldn't be , by the time you realize there's a problem , you're in for some hard work and serious $ .

When I lived Down East , many of the coil operated car washes had an undercarriage rinse off feature , we used that to remove the salty crud buildup all winter long .

Anyway, I see these bright shiny nuts and bolts and cables and hoses, and I say to myself, "wow, my bottom is sure clean since it was steam cleaned or power washed, whatever they did. Now that I had it done, I will pay more attention next time around. Did not see any visible damage, on balance I would do it again. That was the first time in 15-20 years that I know of.
