72 220d stc

i have a 72 220d want to put stc,your ready to install stc is mostly for 123,you state 115 chassis is difficult because of battery.can one put filter-vfm on passenger side of engine bay and route longer hose to ip pump etc with insulation on hose.is that the major stumbling block? do you recommend specific insulation on hose? also does veg oil remaining in engine at shutdown cause coking with cold start in the morning?

Veggie tank faulty Sending Unit

i'm having some trouble with my sending unit in the veg tank. when the gauge reads half it is actually empty. does anyone have experience with this problem? i'm sure i could take the tank out and clean the unit, but i'd rather not. maybe i could fill the tank with diesel or biodiesel and that would clean out the gunk in the sending unit. thanks matt

Upgrading Alternator Amps for DTC

Greetings from Columbus, Ohio. My 1982 Mercedes 300D Turbo Diesel has a glorious Mercedessource DTC system! Only problem I am experiencing is that the alternator can not reliably keep up with the electrical demands. What ampere level would be a good upgrade (150 amp to 300 amp?) and do you have any specific brand/model of alternator you recommend? Trying to eliminate the risk of producing too many amperes as well (if that is even a concern). Many thanks and keep on Greasing! --- Chris Konik

Remove marine bulb style hand pump?

Installed the auxillary fuel pump and it works greats. My question: I also have a marine style bulb hand pump installed, when I bypassed the stock hand primer pump last year. Should I remove it? Can it handle the pressure the auxillary pump produces? The bulb pump seems pretty plump but it's holding, no leaks. Will it eventually burst or can I just leave it alone for now? I'm planning on a 700 mile road trip next weekend and would like to wait to replace it if I can. I've ran about 150 miles since I've installed the auxillary fuel pump and no problems. Thanks, Keith
