Nice thing about these IDI motors is they are bullet proof and will tolerate a single tank vegi set up...just put a couple line heaters on the stock fuel system and put the vegi in the main tank! Simple!
I'm looking to get one for the wife...

I'm Steve and Justin's friend that bought the 82 300D to do the veggie conversion:

What it looked like the day I bought it with 227,900 miles on it:

What it looks like in the front now that I made some changes:

So far I've done a thorough cooling system flush, did an injection system cleaning (AKA Diesel Purge), Cleaned up the engine some and broke my t-stat housing. Have a new housing on its way from Bend, OR as of yesterday.
