Vegetable Oil Conversion of an 85 Mercedes

I still haven’t done a lot on the actual conversion. I have been busy with getting the car to a state where it can safely provide transportation.

My first job was getting new brakes (from the brake line back) for the rear of the car. The driver’s side wasn’t working at all and the other side needed replacing. I got that done, but in the middle of that, I noticed that the boots on the rear axels were leaking or badly cracked, so I got new boots and am in the process of removing the axels and determining whether they need to be replaced or not.

Driver’s side rear brake.  Nice huh?

Anyway, that’s the hold up. Wish me luck; hopefully will be done with this project this weekend.

Diff cover removed.  If you ever do this, get an oil pan.  I though I could catch it all with a smaller containter and I was wrong.
