Check your glowplug relay and your glowplugs. If you're not familiar with the procedure, buy a Mercedes Diesel repair manual from Chilton's or Haynes.

How would you convert any car to run on diesel?

replace the engine. quite simply the average person cant, and a mechanic probably wouldn't because of the cost. just go out and buy a Mercedes-Benz 300d from the late 70's to mid 80's. the are loud but smooth, safe, and get about 30mpg.


How do you convert a 1987 Mercedes 300D to run on biodiesel?

You don't need to convert it. You only need to add the conversion kit if you choose to run veggie oil. Remember though that BioDiesel cleans out sludge from regular diesel fuel and if you try to run just pure Bio you may experience plugged fuel filters. Just buy a couple spare filters and carry them with you. I have a 82 300D Turbo I run on Bio. For a conversion kit look to LoveCraft in Hollywood California. One of the leaders in the industry.
