Hi Gregg
I believe you merely put it into the tank with the diesel. It might be
worth splitting it into 2 loads to ensure that it does mix, but that is
what the book says.
My diesel is the 2.5litre 5 cylinder block bored out to 2.7 litres with
common rail injection (CDi). I have been told by my local MB dealer
that the CDi engines are pretty sensitive to the fuel. However your 6
cylinder TD should be great for using different, suitable, fuels. I
had a E300TD Estate in 1998 and I loved it. Restaurants are probably
only too pleased to have somewhere to offload their surplus fat/oil, so
why not ask for a regular supply?
My next diesel will be the BMW 320d, also a common rail so I probably
will not risk too much of the restaurant fat, but I will read the
instructions and ask some professionals...
I should be interested in how you get on.
Cheers
Chris

Thanks Chris,
We have two MB 300 D Turbos . I have wondered if it would be worth it
to use used vegetable oil in them, but decided I might gain too much
weight (on my body) if I had to go to restaurants every time I needed
to fill up.
What kind of set up would be needed to mix the liquids? I believe it
might save some $ to use the mix and at least save on the highway
taxes charged on the kerosene.

Up to 50 0regg, according to the handbook. It advises against
putting petrol into the diesel (although I once checked that it will
run with
petrol and diesel mixed half and half (!)) and it mentions that a
flow-improver like kerosene should be mixed into the diesel before
"paraffin separation" takes place in the cold diesel.

What ratio?

My diesel Mercedes is allowed to have kerosene mixed with diesel for
the winter, apparently.
