1982 Mercedes 240d starting on 100% diesel fuel on a very cold 8 degree morning. Not plugged in...its been sitting outside all night.I followed the manual's directions to start it. 3 pumps hold the pedal to the floor. Turn high idle adjuster counterclockwise to engage. wait for glow plug light to go out... crank until start release accelerator when engine fires smoothly...Would have started sooner and smoother on 50/50 diesel/kerosene

How in hell do you get it to do that? I have an 82 240d and it works harder to start at 25F than that (not plugged in, no kero).Of course, mine's got 310,000 miles on it, no rebuild.

You can try adjusting the left side knob on the instrument cluster. If that doesn't work, you need to remove the cluster and pull the rheostat out then bridge the two posts its connected to... search the net for more info

I guess you could, but it probably wouldn't be great for the injectors or pump... You can run it on home heating oil

can you run it on 100%Kerosene?

100% Pump Diesel FuelI usually would have mixed 50/50 at this temperature and it would have started right up...like a gas car.Temperatures between 32 and 15 I mix 70% Diesel to 30% Kerosene...Exactly like in the owners manual :-)

It starts?What mixture did you use when you recorded this?
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
