Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re : antique, I don't think so

 

$2500 if you take it to someone, and you get ripped off, terribly.

$250 if you repair it yourself, including new compressor and replacing/rebuilding the servo unit.

Looks REALLY nice, especially for the price.  The ad is over six-weeks old, though, so may very well not be on the market any longer.  It would be interesting to know if the HVAC works at all.  But, there's no e-mail address to reply to, and I don't want to waste my minutes calling on a car two states away that I really don't need and is probably already sold....

Another worthless poop brown W-116 , nice car but , I can _GAURANTEE_ it needs $2,500 forth of HVAC works before you won't cook in it even with all four windows down . (freeze in winter too)

OTOH , if it runs well , passes the oil cap and leak test , it' prolly a damn good car .

[diesel_mercedes] Power Service Bio Kleen - recomedation

 

Picked up some bad veggie oil, smelly and bubbling gasses in 5 gallon buckets. Obviously, it was had water in it, which had settled and there was some growth in the bottom of the buckets creating the gasses.

1 teaspoon of Bio Kleen per bucket, a good shake, and 4 days covered to settle before checking again. No bubbles floating up through the veggie, and the veggie was much clearer.

Now I am siphoning off the veggie from the top, after another week of settling, to filter with an extra pass. Typically I do 2 passes, for this I built a third filter with a larger medium volume to prevent clogging so quickly, before going through my regular system.

I will use this quickly, right to the car and not in the storage drum, as the Bio Kleen did not help to much with the smell.

If I ever get diesel fungus, I would not hesitate to use this in my tank. If it comes to this, I will however carry extra filter just in case even though the web site states does not clog filters, don't they all.

I am now thinking I should have got a bottle of Startron to compare the two.
