Has anyone tried using biodiesel in their 199x E300TD? I'm reading that the older models could put any type of sifted oil in the tank and run it, including used cooking oil. But what about the later models? I know I have to change the Viton "o" rings and the fuel hose. Is there anyone that has tried it? I will have to produce my own until it gets in to the south Louisiana area. Thanks

Call MBUSA and ask for "Technical" -- it may well be that no modification is needed.
No change in system required to run it... if you run the B20, you will have zero problem.
If you run the higher concentration, then it is most likely that you will have clogging but that is no problem as long fuel filters are changed often for a couple of tanks. After that, zero problem.
