Mercedes Motoring - Alternative Fuel

Fuel

The use of vegetable oils for engine fuels may seem insignificant today but such oils may become, in the course of time, as important as petroleum and the coal-tar products of the present time.
- Rudolph Diesel, 1912

We recommend you do comprehensive research on Biodiesel, SVO (straight vegetable oil), and WVO (waste vegetable oil) to help make your decision on which alternative fuel to use.

Biodiesel

Biodiesel is a clean burning alternative to petroleum diesel made from domestic, renewable resources. It can be used in diesel engines with little or no modifications.

Where do I get Biodiesel?

Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO) & Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO)

Vegetable oil can be used as fuel the same as diesel, but, in order for your car to run optimally on SVO or WVO you must first convert your engine with some simple heat and filtration modifications.
