I got a car that had done 60,000km on vege oil OM617A
what i did to get it running right
1. change injectors
2. delivery valves cleaned + ultrasonic parts cleaner
3. ran the car on diesel fuel and took it for a blast down the highway
4. Stopped the crankcase vent going back through the turbo ( putting more carbon in the system ) and use a catch can.
5. used biodiesel as the biodiesel seems to clean the vege off off internal walls of lines ect:
6. changed every filter in the car.
Runs really well now. almost a perfect idle almost as smooth as a straight 6
nice work....at some point please route your blow by gasses into the engine so we don;t have to breathe them though!
@@mercedesclassicswithpierre1753
Is a catch can no good ?
i feel and think that putting particals of carbon through the turbo blades will be a slow " sand blasting" effect upon the blades.
and the catch can turns the oil vapour in the air back into a liquid and settle in the catch can to be recycled later at the oil disposal place.
@@qwertyui90qwertyui90Sorry to write to you three years after posting your comment, I hope you are still online. I wanted to ask you, can I drive a Mercedes w123 to the EU countries, if instead of regular diesel, I will fill the tank with biodiesel? As far as I know, there are severe restrictions on diesel engines in Europe due to their harmful emissions. Can I document the use of biodiesel and thus travel in my car?
@@Alexandr_837 I'm not of europe or the USA so i am unfamilair with the laws and stuff there.. Sorry i can't help :(
@@qwertyui90qwertyui90 I realized. No problem, I'll try to find some information. I like the diesel engine in my car and I wouldn't want to change it to a modern or electric one, so I'm looking at the biodiesel option. It would be unfortunate if these restrictions prevented me from traveling. Thank you very much for answering me. I wish you luck, all the best.
I saved a veggie car, it did take a while, but for the last couple winters she drives and starts like a dream. And she only has 220,000 on her.
good work! what model and how extensive was the system?
The crankshaft broke in my turbo om617 :'(
it broke on the lobe, rather than the journal.
It was either a manufacturing defect that took 30 years to propagate thought, or the vege oil did something.
The only time I will ever consider running vegetable oil in my 300D is if society collapses, diesel becomes scarce, and I have no other choice.
There is a 300d turbo here locally for sale that has run exclusively on waste oil for the last 15 years. The owner has gotten too old to keep up with dealing with filtering oil etc so now he wants to sell. Other than the history with Veggie oil the car seems to be very clean and the price is VERY good. It's very tempting. Is it worth it? To be honest before I watched this video I wasn't even concerned now I'm not so sure
Let me buy
I hate watching people on you tube just trying to explain things with their faces on screen without doing any work. Basically I skip through as fast as I can, as all they really are doing is pretending to be movie stars. LOL! BUT, This Dude is the only Dude that I have ever watched with full attention and in amazement , HE Bloody well knows what he's talking about and gets it out clearly and concisely. Good Job , NO! AWSOME JOB Brother!
Thank you very much sir thank God that I did not put this shit in my car but so many people said oh yeah it’s perfectly OK to do you and Vito are very knowledgeable I will always take you or Vito‘s advice 😀😀😀👍👍👍
glad you didn;t either!
When you put that injection pump to your mouth and your fingers over the openings, I thought you were about to play us a tune!
i did..pitch was too high but every dog in the neighborhood started barking!
Lmao omg.. best comment on CZcams
The Sad Truth is that I have walked away from nice MB Diesels if they have an Alt Fuel System. Just too many things that can go wrong.
if the price is right you can fix the car
Running a car on that crap might have been intriguing back in 2008/2009 when diesel was $5/gallon...... but what a monumental PITA. I'd run away as fast as I could from one of these cars.
Diesel pushing $10 a gallon now. 😯
But they say it produces less carbon than regular diesel, the only problem is with temperature
it's a chemistry problem, not a temperature problem.
I think we may end up at a point where the powers that be BAN diesel fuel for cars. That day is coming. At that point a whole lot of wonderful older diesel Mercedes will need to be converted to some form of alternative fuel.
I live in Texas and have seen the bias against diesel-fueled vehicles for a while. However, the rest of the planet runs on diesel. After Europe, Africa, and AU/NZ, the sheer number of vehicles that ran on diesel was staggering when compared to the U.S. While the FedGov says they want cars that are economical, they lie(shocker). They want, they need that Federal Excise Tax of 18.3c/gal and 24.3c/gal that's paid every time you fill up. The last thing they want is a small turbo diesel engine allowing a car to get 90+ MPG, it would hurt the bottom line too much.
@@BUCKMAW The diesel purge is already occurring in Europe.
I think the old cars will be grandfathered in. The ban will be for making new diesels or ICE.
@@pinzgauernorcal In Amsterdam you can't drive old diesels in the city centre. Also, in London diesels get hit with big taxes for driving in the city centre. It's also looking like London will ban them outright soon.
@@colmfarrel4742 here in the usa I dont see that happening because of the car culture runs deep.
Working on saving my 1983 300D with 188k miles. It's got a wvo tank in the trunk and Everything. Is. Sticky. It runs but needs some work. The injector lines on the back two cylinders I can't feel the fuel pulses. I'm thinking (hoping) those injectors are stuck wide open and not popping. Easy fix.
I buy
Taking delivery of a no running veggie 240 soon. Wish me luck.
Good explanation
thank you!
How about the oposite video. How to do a conversion that will work in time.
biodiesel works...no conversion needed
What if you have a separate tank and a switch? Is that still bad?
Great info Pierre.
thank you
Stuck valves cokin behind comp rings
I had a 1987 190 2.5 turbo I ran on up to 80% waste peanut oil, 20% diesel in the tank mix, and a nissan 720 with the sd22 diesel. Well this was when gas was well over $4 a gallon back in 2007. Anyway, they both ran good on it. The mercedes would clog a fuel filter on me here and there but I could feel it coming due to power loss. The nissan diesel was so weak you couldn't tell the filter was clogging untill it quit. I prefiltered my oil through setteling it first, then pumped it through 2 napa hydrolic oil filters. Looking back it wasn't the best thing to do but I was able to pay my bills. Those cars were cheap then. The mercedes was totaled from being rear ended and the Nissan sd22 still runs to this day. Still slow but still runs. By the way I love your channel and just subscibed as I have recently aquired a 1990 300D that needs a little love,
the key word here is "had" ....what are your plans for the 300d? heating and filtering vegetable oil is not a chemical treatment, and wvo is a chemical issue...you can't fix a chemical issue with a non chemical solution. Once you heat wvo, and then unheat...it is still full of glycerin
@@mercedesclassicswithpierre1753 I agree, If did it again I would make bio diesel and remove the glycerin. Plans for the 300d is running it on diesel only unless the price of fuel goes crazy high again. I did make progress on it last weekend, Had a major oil leak from the bottom plate on the injection pump. I managed to replace that oring and give it a oil change and she's back on the road.
So its ok, if you go through the conversion process to make bio diesel? I'm looking at buying a car that has been run for 15 years as a full time daily driver winter and summer and big cross America trips all on veggie oil. Now I'm not sure if I should bother with the car. It seems to be clean otherwise, and diesels were originally intended to run on peanut oil right? Is it the cooking/ restaurant processes that make it dangerous to our engines?
@@mercedesclassicswithpierre1753 if you heat then centrifuge, glycerin out?
OM603 300SDL on jet fuel, free fuel.
BONK BONK BONK lol!
haha! that's the nice the germans make too
Absolutely not!
lol
Short answer no,
short answer if the price is right and the car is right
Mr. Labcoat touts vegetable oil conversion. I don’t like the idea. He puts heaters in everywhere. I don’t want to have hot oil everywhere on a car. What happens in an accident? Why mess with something that works so well as it is.
another example of Mr. labcoat's failure to the mb community.
Mercedes Classic with Pierre Hedary yeah like that sunroof ‘manual’ geez...
These cars could SPROUT so many problems PEAS dont buy one, he could of LETTUCE seen one that had been run on Vege oil and showed us all the LEEKS from the hoses. They have experimented with this in Scandinavia fow years and the SWEDES gave up , expect problems to TURNIP end of story.
That idea is hard to beet.
lol too funny
KEYO now if that doesn’t make you want to eat your vegetables... lol
