Sorting Out the Claims When Considering a Diesel to Vegetable Oil Conversion
Here are some tips to considering when putting together your own conversion
71 220D shifting solutions?
1. Tranny shifts immediately from 1 to 2 in nearly all situations short of full throttle.
2. When driven with lever left in 4th position, shifts well from 2 to 3, but shifts too soon to 4th.
3. When driven with lever left in 3rd position, shifts hard from 2 to 3.
4. I've adapted by starting out with lever in 4th position (to ease 2-3 shift), then moving lever to 3rd position and keeping it there until I'm ready for 4th.
5. This has the Bowden cable. Indicator window isn't accurate -- is off by 1 gear.

1975 240D 20 amp location
I have the electric fuel boost heater installed and ready to go, but where is a 20 amp fuse in the fuse box to tap into? Every fuse I see is less than 20 amp. The highest I see is 16 amp and the EFBH calls for a 20 amp.
Thanks,
