| In
The Shop: Mercedes Unimog |
Posted: 10/10/07
A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to have a client bring in
a rare diesel vehicle for us to convert. Most people may have
never heard of the Unimog made by Mercedes Benz. However, it's
quite arguably the Swiss Army Knife of the all terrain vehicle
world. For this application we installed a 25 Gallon reserve Diesel
tank and converted the 60 Gallon main tank to be the vegetable
oil tank. We also installed dual 1000FH thermostatically controlled
veggie fuel filters with a custom rock guard. It was a pleasure
to have this rare diesel in our shop!
