Can my Benz run on Veg oil ?

[hoj]

Hello all, are there any technical people out there who know whether I can run my 1995 C250 straight Diesel (non turbo) on Veg oil or anything like it? If so, do I need to change fuel filters and all that sort of thing. Some people have mentioned common rail Diesel, but am not sure what that means.

Can anyone be of assistance, much appreciated

I think you can run on veggie oil as yours is not common rail. Common rail is the newer type of diesels ie cdi,cdt etc. If you use veggie oil I think you should also use a small bit of diesel at the same time because of vesocity.

I was down at the MOT station last week and the mechanics were emptying the diesel out of the truck which they use for motorcycle racing.
They said that they had got some bio diesel, but the truck wouldn't run on it.
I asked if it was genuine bio, or made up stuff.
They said they had bought it as genuine.
They appeared to be off to discuss the matter with the vendor when they had shut up the MOT station.
