Van Conversion / Running on vegetable oil?
June 16, 2015, 06:49:01 PM
I have a Mercedes 307D, and one of the biggest reasons that I got a Diesel was the possebilites to convert it to run on vegetable oil.

Does anyone have experience with this? How easy/hard is it to get vegetable oil in Europe?

Thank your for your feedback and advice!

Common Room / A viking on the road!

Greetings to all you free souls out there!

So empowering to read and be a part of this forum, like a mobile village in constant movement. I am currently in Sweden, heading south as autumn comes. I bought my rusty old pearl (Mercedes 307D)  this autumn for 800EUR, renovated it for 600EUR and am still exploring my travelling budget. My goal is to sustain my travelling by working as a freelance writer and Illustrator, visit Permaculture projecs and farms, hidden old villages and gather knowlage and skills to some day park my van on a peice of land and start a project of my own. Here is my crappy little blog: https://rovardotter.wordpress.com/

This being my first very own home and vehicle, I have a tremendeus amount to learn. My first dream was to have a "food truck" but I ended up with a home. I have a low-tech approach to the design of my van, and am currently exploring how to grow food in the little place I have.

Would love to hear more from people with Mercedes Vans! And anyone around Scandinavia who is up for a road trip? And Girls, how is your strategy on travelling alone?

Look forward to see you somewere on the asfalt ;)
