Re: [diesel_mercedes] Diesel fuel $3.92 an counting. $4.50 on the west coast. Veggie oil free.

 

For the time being. When the nationwide price of diesel gets to $4.50-$5.00/ga, I suspect veggie oil will be a whole lot less free...

Trying to imagine what else a diesel will run on.  The various gases are all BTU deprived..  I seem to recall that Diesel himself was trying to develop an engine that would run on powdered coal., and ships seem to run on heated roofing tar..

I have more oil than I know what to do with.  I've been runnin veg for 6 years
and over 100k.  Free for the taking almost everywhere.  I couldn't be happier
driving by all those service stations and they don't get a cent from me.  Only
cost is the filtering media which is free box blue jeans.  I do take them to the
laundry as my wife will not allow me to wash them at home.  Lawrence Rhodes.....

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Cruise Control Intermittant

 

I think that there's an early type that uses vacuum, and a later type
that uses an electric servo.
My '85 300D had the electric type, and no vacuum lines going to the
Cruise control components.

Consistent and reliable operation is dependent on all the little solder joints in the control box (located behind the passenger side kick panel) still being good after 25-plus-years....
