Running any diesel on veg oil can be a problem for proper atomisation when the engine is cold.
As a minimum you need a fuel pre heater and maybe an engine heater as well.
The 300td will run on veg oil but if the fuel doesn't properly burn it MAY cause caralamisation of the veg oil into the engine oil.
Long term that would be a bad thing.
Although it has to be said that the Mercedes indirect diesel is the most suitable unit to run on veg oil due to the pre chamber design and type of fuel pump used.
No they don't. The G Wagon uses the 2.9 direct engine like the Sang Yong and Sprinter.
Output is about 130Bhp iirc.
The 3.0 indirect OM 606 engine was only used in the cars because it was smoother than a direct engine.
The original Ssang Yongs were made prior to the DI engine, and a guy in my gym had one in 1997 before the DI CDIs were introduced, and I am fairly sure in their advertising from day one they stated Mercedes engines.
Without checking I would guess the original Mercedes CDIs appeared in cars about 99/2000.
The original DI engine was in the Rover Maestro/Montego and had been rejected by all car (but not van) manufacturers due to the noise they made - but the first one in a montego made it capable of both 100MPH and 100MPG (but not at the same time).
So was the G wagon a CDI/DI before the cars then?

As above they used a 3.0 litre 5 cylinder but then a 2.9 L five direct. This was before the CDi engines were made and was fed by a standard IP.
