Hi guys does any body out there know of anyone who has had a sprinter conversion in a G300 463 :?:
Would really appreciate to hear from anyone who has converted or had a G converted this way... :)
Very reluctant to ask the local chinese for the remainder chip fat oil but i have heard this works!!! :D
Look forward to hearing from you all :P

I know a guy who has put one into a G300 460 let me know if that would be of any help. That chippy oil, look under alternative fuels. There is a process, very simple and the guys are more than willing to help.

Be very careful with the sprinter engine and veggie oil though. No personal experience, but failures are known. Direct injection and cold veggie oil means veggie oil in the sump with disastrous outcome. Can be done though either twin tank system or fuel pre-heater. Twin tank system works best.
Or even better, don't use direct injection engine in your conversion.

Really best thing for you to do is this:
There's a member on here, username Markvulture, who knows his way around these things. Get in touch with him. I have been to his place and was very impressed. Several conversions being done very professionally. Also a 603 6-cyl turbo into a w460. From what I could find so far, the best person in this country for this sort of thing and very reasonable rates too.
