I've run some batches of WMO, spun through my centrifuge, mixed with dino
diesel, and it seems to run fine.....I know that's not what you're asking,
but it's a close as I can come.

There's one other consideration..
Couple of years ago, there was a piece going around the net about a fellow
who had installed a 5 cyl. Deutz diesel truck engine in an old Ford pickup,
was running the rig on raw crude oil, as pumped from the ground, no refining
involved.
The Deutz engine seems to use the same inline Bosch fuel pump that we use,
and other than being air cooled, instead of liquid cooled, is otherwise
similar, i.e. pre-chambers, glo plugs and high compression, and this led me
to wonder if anybody had ever tried running the Mercedes on raw crude.
Assuming you have access to a suitable light crude oil, not everything
pumped from the ground would be suitable, but I suspect most eastern light
crude would do..
Anybody?

Thanx all for the clarifying comments .
In a nut shell here's is the Veggie , WVO & WMO fuel thing :
It's very time consuming to do right and you really cannot do the normal
short hop , drive to work / market use 99% of all people use vehicles for so
why bother ? .
Yes , it is great for the Environment and can save you serious $ over time .
But , sooner or later , the pracical realities of life will mandate that you
make at least _one_ short cut and then all is lost although not immediately
apparent due to the nature of Diesel combustion .
If you have nothing better to do and live far away from everything so every
time you start the engine you know it'll run for minimum of 30 minutes then
it'll prolly be a win - win for you .
Other (most) folks have busy daily lives and so fail in this effort .
Give it a try but then don't hine nor blame the car when it becomes an
expen$ive nightmare and ruins your marriage in the process .
