Please don't ruin this car, it's way too good for ruining, also the engine is probably the most reliable engine you could get, also with few modifications it can hold around 600hp with truck turbo
Yea but you need stronger internals which is $$$$, so at that point you are better off putting in a different engine, like OM606, 605, M104, LS V8 etc.
It would run too. There's a reason why turbodiesels are able to runaway. But by diluting it with diesel they made it easier to start and stress engine less. Still, I wouldn't run that in a car I would like to keep driving.
@@ro-hammadali1166 Have you done it? I assumed there was diesel in the tank and they were not draining it so it would be cut with some fuel. But a diesel will run on straight oil.
The om616 and 0m617 engines in the w123 mercedes was designed to run on just about any fuel. So don't treat her bad boys she will treat you better than anything you'll ever own in your lifetime. Just keep up on the vacuum systems the hesitation when it shuts off means there's a vacuum issue. And the transmission is cooperated by vacuum and so is just about everything on the w123 including the door locks and the ignition switch
You _might_ find that mixing diesel with the oil before filtering helps keep it flowing. Waste oil contains solids that clump together and clog the filter. Mixing it with diesel before filtering can help dissolve and break up those clumps, so that the filter is only trapping bits of rust and sand and other non-cohesive particles that don't clog it so quickly. Where you might see a difference is in cylinder wear. Thus the importance of filtering. When you consider diesel is only a few bucks per gallon, you need to have access to a _lot_ of waste oil and a very efficient filtering & blending process to make it worth your time--and minimize wear on your car. (A compression check before & after 10K miles on black diesel would be interesting.)
You can also mix oil in to gas. I put my waste oil in the gas tank after oil changes since getting rid of old oil is a pain. 5 to 7 quarts to a full tank which is 36 gallons. Never had an issue, and I never filtered it. It was clean when I changed it. I change every 2500 to 3500 miles. I flush with B12 Chemtool every 4th change. I am sitting at ~1,220,000 miles at this time on my old ram. Figure you might want to do that next.
For my Diesel Mercedes, I built a filtering system that used whole house filter housings with 20- and 5-micron filters and a pump. I ran a mix of waste crankcase oil, ATF and vegetable oil. Not much pump diesel fuel at all... The engine loved it and looked like new inside- super clean!
Perform a drop test. Ballbearing timed traveling in measured amount of fuel. Compare diesel to the oil. Thin to required viscosity. That's how it's done. Use paraffin, brake fluid, etc.
Your 300D has a leak in the vacuum system. The delayed shutoff is a product of that leak. Once you fond where, you can fix it for like a $4 rubber vac hose.
Diesels will run on anything that doesn't ignite as fast as gasoline or that isn't combustible like water. I ran my diesel VW on straight automatic transmission fluid for a while to help lubricate a rebuilt injection pump.
Doesn’t matter if it’s a vw or what, the original design of a diesel is to run off off peanut oil, but basically any oil based substance will burn in a diesel, that’s why the government uses diesel for all the ground vehicles in the military
If you decide to do this again it's a lot easier to get a cheap pack of like 3 or 4xl white t shirts and stretch them over your clean bucket and make a "hair band" out of vacuum line to hold it on the opening of the bucket and use a transfer pump to move the oil from the used bucket to the clean one with the filter on the opening. Just something to think on.
You can do your first stage of filtering using those green shopping bags that they are making everyone buy as they phase out the disposable shopping bags. Then you do your second stage filtration with another shopping bag but you line the inside bottom of it with paper towels. You can do about 100 gallons through each bag and the bags are around 10 cents if they cost anything at all.
I don't know if anyone down lower in the comments made the reference to this but you're supposed to mix the diesel and the waste oil first stir them up very well then filter out the particulates this way it allows it to go through the filter faster as it is thinners and so on
yes filtering after its mixed would speed up the filtration process, but it would also be a reasonable assumption that you would get more particulates catching in the filter. The reason being the thinner liquid would more than likely release any suspended particulate much easier.
Thank you for your video! You did a great job! A few years ago I made black diesel but the cost of fuel was not near as bad as now so I did not keep doing it. Ruined a lot of clothes! I used a heater and a centerfuge. I brought the heater up to 200 degrees to get all of the water out. Then it went into the centerfuge which cleans much better than filters. Then it went into the finishing tank which was a Tractor Supply Tank with an internal pump. I did 16 gallons of used motor oil and added 2 gallons of gasoline and 2 gallons of diesel and one ounce of acetone for a cleaner for 20 gallons of mixed fuel. I mixed it for several minutes in the tank at over 100 degrees and then thru a one micron filter before putting it into the truck fuel tank. There were three of us using it for 6 months. It gave us more power and did not smoke any different that the diesel at the pump. Easy starting and none of us changed any fuel filters. Warning: Do not mix vegetable oil with mineral oil. It will cause a sticky substance and you will plug up your pump and injectors. My truck is a 1997 5.9 Cummins 12 valve diesel. The second one was a 2003 Dodge Cummins 24 valve and the third was a 1995 Ford 7.3 diesel. I do not know how well it would work on the newer diesel engines.The cost to make the fuel was 20% of the cost at the pump.
Gums up the injectors, if you want to do it properly you need new injectors, a 2 micron fuel filter and 2 fuel pre-heaters. You would be better off cleaning the vegetable oil and making bio-diesel at less than a 1$ per gallon, plus your mileage would be 15 - 20% better than with regular diesel
I ran my 91 VW Jetta for 4 years adding 5 gallons of filter waste fluids per tank, used a frantz filter, and literally poured a 5 gallon can into my car before filling it at the station, topped it off with diesel, and the car always ran better with the good stuff. Crazy it had more power and got better mpg on waste filtered fluids. If the engine is warm it will run on straight waste filtered fluids lol. But I only do this on my mechanical injection diesel engines. Good video guys, fellow western Washington guy here.
My Dad has the same car (different year though). That startup noise gave me a huge wave of nostalgia of getting driven around by my Dad when I was little. I was even driven home from the hospital after being born in that car.
What the fuck are you on about man? Try lighting a bucket of diesel on fire, it needs to be compressed and heated to it's flashpoint before it'll even have a remote possibility of igniting. Hence why diesel engines use glow plugs and run ultra high compression ratios.
good lord no, the boiling point is faar too low ive heard stories about shampoo and something else (quite sure it was a solvent) mixed to make a brake fluid
My Deuce and a half has no problem with used motor oil, or diesel, gas, moonshine, kerosene, tiki torch oil, or anything else that's a flammable liquid.
I've always wondered how these work. Do they have a fuel pre-heater or do they have some sort of Mist chamber that returns excess "fuel" to the tank? I'm guessing that they use a gizmo much like the "Mixer" used in LPG engines. Ie. Hot radiator water is passed through the same space the LPG to change it from a liquid to a gas. If I were doing a WVO setup on a diesel engine, I would probably make a copper coil in a Pipe or a large Can, and pass Radiator water through the Can and the "fuel" would run through the copper coil. Or even possibly re-purpose a Water-Air Intercooler to do the job and not have to weld or solder a damn thing.
I had a two stroke Deutz light tower/ generator that burned straight used motor oil from the shop and we ran off grid in the middle of San Francisco doing it!
Fuck man if that works, those damn Subaru WRX vapebros will never have to worry about low oil from leaks, just top her off with vape juice and keep on smashing into shit.
Yeah it will run fine but newer engines with tighter tolerances on the pumps and finer injector spray patterns will have more chance of being clogged by the larger carbon particles, it should also work on pure veg oil without any diesel, a good way to run indefinitely is to have 2 tanks one for oil other for diesel, use the oil tank on the road and the diesel just before parking up,to clear any carbon deposits inside the injectors
I drove from Texas to Yuba City California in my first gen dodge on used motor oil and Diesel mix. I put a 250 gallon fuel cell in the bed Stopped up 3 fuel filters but it worked and saved me hundreds
Logan Dean I don’t see the point of this really it’s just giving the car what it would normally run on anyways it doesn’t even look like oil just black fuel running on only oil would be cool but he used like 1 gallon of oil and about the same in diesel so what’s the point ??
Andreas Bimanda With these engines you can mix a certain amount of the lowest octane available gasoline with the diesel in the wintertime to winterize it if winterized fuel isn't available and no kerosene is available to mix with it. The non USA owners manuals mention blending gasoline if there's no kerosene available but the U.S. Spec cars owners manual doesn't mention it oddly.
Logan Dean, will it run on gasoline. My isuzu dt280 4x4 diesel was filled with gasoline by accident by a garage attendant. The mix was about 50/50 estimate. The engine ran well but there was a change on how the engine sounded. Power was good. Did about 150 km before draining the tank. No damage detected.
Yo keep that thing as a daily......and like you said now you have a use for old engine oil, might be a pain in the ass doing the whole process but I think it would be worth it lol
The coffee filter is overkill. All you need is a particulate filter, we used to use paint strainers. Used oil burns better in old diesels than fresh anyway. A 50/50 mix usually works okay.
I had a periwinkle 86 300SD with two fuel tanks. One was the stock diesel and the other was in the trunk for wvo with a tank heater. I had switches in the dash to select which tank to run and I had a bunch of huge in line diesel fuel filters. You have to warm up the engine on diesel and shut it of on diesel as to not "gum up the works".
Warning, warning. It will run on waste oil and better than diesel fuel, but , the waste oil needs to be cleaned first the black in waste oil is carbon , unburned carbon and you can filter it to 1 micron but if you ever let it sit for long it will separate and stop up your fuel system. Found that out the hard way. I bought a centerfuge and heater to clean up my 55 gallon barrel of waste oil . It will look just like you poured it from the can nice and golden clear. Now I usually mix some diesel with it to thin it some but burns fine and only smokes a little till it warms up. Good luck
@@JesusisJesus Washing machine isn't fast enough but nice thought. The little centerfuge filter is used on big trucks now and they have gone over 500k miles just changing filters and topping off the oil every 3 to 4k miles.
Hello Debbie! I am interested in hearing about your experience with filtering waste motor oil using a centrifuge. Using a centrifuge, can you get it clean enough to look like brand new, unused motor oil?
It definitely would run fine with alot more oil in there. The most common way for a diesel to runaway is turbo seals blowing out and pumping into the engine. Even with the fuel cut off they keep running
Not surprising at all... It will run on any oil... the best is power steering fluid... Sunflower oil is also great. The older the diesel is, more kind of fuel it will take. Beauty of the diesel.
Mix it with the diesel before filtering. Would be quicker. Also, look at using large round air filters to filter the oil, if you're clever enough, stack buckets with holes cut out in the middle of them to make it easier to filter. Also, don't know why you're mixing it for so long, you don't really have to mix them at all. In fact, you probably don't even need the diesel at all unless it's winter.
@@josephsamsor1698 used oil is burnt... thats why its black. Its not from dirt inside the engine... its from the hydrocarbons breaking down under heat and pressure.
Years ago in college I drove a 1987 300sdl on black Diesel. My mixture was 90% used motor oil 10% diesel. Ran just fine during the summer in California with air conditioning. MPG was very good no difference. Conventional oil is best for this application, synthetic oil over a long period of time will plug up the injectors.
Bruh, I know nothing of this guy or this channel. His ghetto car experiments are slightly entertaining. But when he said it smells like his Civic burning oil, that's worth a sub.
I have a 1985 Mercedes Benz 300SD with the 5.0 Turbo Diesel and let me tell you for 600 dollars it runs better than most cars I know. Those motors were made to last. #TrueEngineering
This reminds me of the old Chevy K30 Military trucks with the 6.2L Detroit Diesel in them. You could burn BOTH diesel and home heating oil in the engine. Some other military trucks like the big tri-axels and deuce and a half’s have engines that can run on diesel, certain oils, and even small quantities of gasoline.
Yesterday I just poured 10 gallon of used engine oil, 5 gallon of diesel and 2 gallon of chainsaw gas/trans fluid mix all in my m35a2 deuce and a half and she don’t care
I had one on my channel of it at idle smoking out my neighbors house but it got a lot of hate and got taken down. Fuel is turned all the way up on it now, a new video will come soon
Check this out !! We made a MOPED powered CAR : ua-cam.com/video/MS4itA1dSjA/v-deo.html

If diesels run off used/filtered vegetable oil, then it makes total sense that a blend of diesel and motor oil would work.
sure, but don't forget that motor oil has a lot if synthetic additives that may make it unpredictable.
They can run on pure used oil and sunflower oil too

I drove from Texas to Yuba City California in my first gen dodge on used motor oil and Diesel mix. I put a 250 gallon fuel cell in the bed Stopped up 3 fuel filters but it worked and saved me hundreds
im baffled that they used a coffee filter rather than the obvious choice of cheesecloth or some kind of poly fabric
cheesey filled diaper
Don’t destroy it! My dad has 8 of these lol
Sell me one lol
Can I have one? How much?
If your dad is in California then I kno who he is.
He lives in mcallen tx. Lol and if you are serious about buying one dm me @mrwho_86
I’m in San Antonio how much would he sell for ?
Next video: “will my car run on gasoline?!?”
Logan Dean I don’t see the point of this really it’s just giving the car what it would normally run on anyways it doesn’t even look like oil just black fuel running on only oil would be cool but he used like 1 gallon of oil and about the same in diesel so what’s the point ??
U can't use gasoline on diesel engine. High volatile liquid meet high pressure engine = boom
No
Andreas Bimanda With these engines you can mix a certain amount of the lowest octane available gasoline with the diesel in the wintertime to winterize it if winterized fuel isn't available and no kerosene is available to mix with it. The non USA owners manuals mention blending gasoline if there's no kerosene available but the U.S. Spec cars owners manual doesn't mention it oddly.
Logan Dean, will it run on gasoline.
My isuzu dt280 4x4 diesel was filled with gasoline by accident by a garage attendant. The mix was about 50/50 estimate. The engine ran well but there was a change on how the engine sounded. Power was good. Did about 150 km before draining the tank. No damage detected.
Yo keep that thing as a daily......and like you said now you have a use for old engine oil, might be a pain in the ass doing the whole process but I think it would be worth it lol
The coffee filter is overkill. All you need is a particulate filter, we used to use paint strainers. Used oil burns better in old diesels than fresh anyway.
A 50/50 mix usually works okay.
I had a periwinkle 86 300SD with two fuel tanks. One was the stock diesel and the other was in the trunk for wvo with a tank heater. I had switches in the dash to select which tank to run and I had a bunch of huge in line diesel fuel filters. You have to warm up the engine on diesel and shut it of on diesel as to not "gum up the works".
Them old Mercs will run on fat people if you liquefy them.
What the fuck your crazy
Nicholas Aguiar no he's right!.ever seen water world ? Or mad max? Where do you think the smokers got there fuel?
Matty- you just took me back with water world
P2Feener 305 😀 Roger that sir! (But think about it)
yeah but then what will I do for soap?
So you're not running it on used motor oil, you're running it on used motor oil and diesel. Okay
People have done this for years
Do it for the clicks
Sure but the title says he's running it on pure motor oil
It’s like...I mix water with some Fanta but i won’t drink Fanta I’ll drink water with some littttttle taste of Fanta but it will be water
aight lol
Clean up and keep this 300 D
Why not filter after adding the diesel? It should flow better because it will be less viscous
Warning, warning. It will run on waste oil and better than diesel fuel, but , the waste oil needs to be cleaned first the black in waste oil is carbon , unburned carbon and you can filter it to 1 micron but if you ever let it sit for long it will separate and stop up your fuel system. Found that out the hard way. I bought a centerfuge and heater to clean up my 55 gallon barrel of waste oil . It will look just like you poured it from the can nice and golden clear. Now I usually mix some diesel with it to thin it some but burns fine and only smokes a little till it warms up. Good luck
Where did you get the centrifuge?
If you were doing large quantities could you use an old washing machine and just run it on the spin cycle?
@@JesusisJesus Washing machine isn't fast enough but nice thought. The little centerfuge filter is used on big trucks now and they have gone over 500k miles just changing filters and topping off the oil every 3 to 4k miles.
What RPM are we talking here, some direct drive washing machines get cracking.
??
Hello Debbie! I am interested in hearing about your experience with filtering waste motor oil using a centrifuge. Using a centrifuge, can you get it clean enough to look like brand new, unused motor oil?
Maybe try that to run it with a higher ratio of used oil next time like half and half
I ran pennzoil tcw3 2 stroke oil in my 472 69 caddy crank, I pulled it off into the fuel and never had a problem
THE MERCEDES DESERVES TO LIVE
I appreciate your ability to use the mixer without making a mess.
It definitely would run fine with alot more oil in there. The most common way for a diesel to runaway is turbo seals blowing out and pumping into the engine. Even with the fuel cut off they keep running
Not surprising at all...
It will run on any oil... the best is power steering fluid...
Sunflower oil is also great. The older the diesel is, more kind of fuel it will take. Beauty of the diesel.
In Germany we Drive this Cars with sunflower oil dayli
yea fuel is ekspensive here in Europe
@@danielsolberg1638 1,42€/L ->~ 4,42$/GAL
@@danielsolberg1638 DIESEL PRICE!
@@MrObbe91 that's expensive as fuck
Also in Portugal ;) but with used filtered sunflower oil, and they are still being sold with 1.5M km and running hahaha
So how does the diesel fuel filter look like now?
I know it's your car but please dont ruin the Mercedes
Mix it with the diesel before filtering. Would be quicker. Also, look at using large round air filters to filter the oil, if you're clever enough, stack buckets with holes cut out in the middle of them to make it easier to filter. Also, don't know why you're mixing it for so long, you don't really have to mix them at all. In fact, you probably don't even need the diesel at all unless it's winter.
chow finally got another mercedes
Remember chows smoky merc
Anthony ϟ yup
real og
In Bosnia, we can buy that on gas station. All VW Mk2 in Bosnia are driving on black diesel!
I always hear "go ahead".
Can diesel run on oily hand sanitizer? Such as hands sanitizer with aloe vera oil.
You are literally burning burnt hydrocarbons... how did you not open the 5th dimension under the hood?
AimlessMoto how? The engine oil wasn’t burned previously (obviously).
@@josephsamsor1698 ding ding ding
AimlessMoto spelling error. Meant “wasn’t”
@@josephsamsor1698 used oil is burnt... thats why its black. Its not from dirt inside the engine... its from the hydrocarbons breaking down under heat and pressure.
AimlessMoto it’s obviously not entirely burnt though if the engine can off of it. I kinda get your point though
try to make it run on used fry fat/(waste) vegetable oil
It's going to work. Why would you recommend it? Do you just like watching people drive around?
why with this car ;(
Years ago in college I drove a 1987 300sdl on black Diesel. My mixture was 90% used motor oil 10% diesel. Ran just fine during the summer in California with air conditioning. MPG was very good no difference. Conventional oil is best for this application, synthetic oil over a long period of time will plug up the injectors.
Bruh, I know nothing of this guy or this channel. His ghetto car experiments are slightly entertaining.
But when he said it smells like his Civic burning oil, that's worth a sub.
Use 2 stroke bar oil as engine oil
Jacoby Clark Because Lowcals
Why dude?
Just a thought but if u mixed it first then filtered it might flow faster?
same idea!
I was just about to say the same thing. Mix the oil and diesel first, then filter the mixture.
Same thought
Dude cheese cloth is way better reusable and cheaper than coffee filters just so you know.....😉
Cheese cloth also doesn't filter anything small, so you might as well not filter at all.

"The last thing we're missing is some clean Diesel" *Fills it with Petrol*
In America the green pump is diesel
You don't need to add diesel to that oil, just oil will burn well enough too
do " will car run on dish soap " really wanna see that!! ;D
No Problem for a Mercedes 😉👍 Regards Alex from Germany ✔
I have a 1985 Mercedes Benz 300SD with the 5.0 Turbo Diesel and let me tell you for 600 dollars it runs better than most cars I know. Those motors were made to last. #TrueEngineering
This reminds me of the old Chevy K30 Military trucks with the 6.2L Detroit Diesel in them. You could burn BOTH diesel and home heating oil in the engine. Some other military trucks like the big tri-axels and deuce and a half’s have engines that can run on diesel, certain oils, and even small quantities of gasoline.
Video starts at 8:00. You're welcome.
i have that exact car in my backyard but its RHD but its silver and in good condition (Like new out of the showroom looking)
Will you sell it
if you can drive it back from straya
@@sgn-kinglive3337 of course i can because it's an old diesel merc duh!
well i guess they do float like a boat on the road ;)

Yesterday I just poured 10 gallon of used engine oil, 5 gallon of diesel and 2 gallon of chainsaw gas/trans fluid mix all in my m35a2 deuce and a half and she don’t care
Make a vid of this
I want to see the smoke
I had one on my channel of it at idle smoking out my neighbors house but it got a lot of hate and got taken down. Fuel is turned all the way up on it now, a new video will come soon
It's nice to have a true multifuel engine.
"I like this car" while on the way to ruining the car
Running it on oil doesn't do any damage to the engine itself, maybe the DPF but that's it
@@SleepyTM1 this merc doesn't have any dpf
Then that's even better
Try just oil next time. Seriously, there’s a good chance it might run. Some diesels can run on vegetable oil, too.
Guitar3000LP 50/50 Vegetable oil and diesel or in old Volvo diesels 70% Vegetable oil and 30% diesel
An old Merc runs on everything that works like Diesel. A friend of me runs his W123 240D with pure waste Motor or vegetable Oil.
