Oh no! My Mercedes Sprinter specifies no higher than B5 diesel. oops I just filled it with B20. How will this affect my engine??
I didn't notice the warning at the pump about B20 and to check the owner's manual until after I had already completely filled the tank, I filled it 80% full with this stuff!
How is this going to affect the engine? I'm mentally preparing for the worst.
I'm also imagining: Should I siphon this out of my tank and put it into gas cans and advertise it for sale? It cost $105 🤦♀️😭 I'm imagining if I try to resell it for quite a bit less than that, I'd be helping someone out and they'd be helping me out to get rid of this. ☣️
little update on the restoration
Hey folks. Little update on the restoration project. There was a bit more rust than expected, so it needed to be worked over way longer. Now it is the third week in the garage.
I hope next week it will get ready to drive again. I had it on winter tires as the summer ones were finished. Fresh summer tires are at the garage and the old winter ones are back in the storage.
I really need someone for the foil, but I send requests out at local garages. Let’s wait for the tenders (prices & work estimate).
work in progress
Got a 2002 SLK 200 Kompressor recently. My mechanic told me they start to rust in the catalogue. Well, he didn’t my. It is a bit of work (well, he is doing the work, I am just paying), but it will be a beautiful ride afterwards. The car will be rust free and sealed.
After that I am unsure to do. Should I get a LPG modification on it? I mean, it is „just“ a summer ride, but I use the convertible at every opportunity possible.
After this is decided, I plan to get a foil on it. Azure blue would be preferred, or do you have some ideas that could tickle my fancy?
