First of all, I would never run WVO in my cars. Biodiesel is one thing, but with WVO there is just too much to risk.
Second, I would RUN, not walk, away from this conversion. I give credit to the guy for his ingenuity, but the engine compartment looks like a jungle of rubber, and that mess around the diff?? The tank is a total hack job, what if coolant leaks into the fuel? I have no doubt it will work, but for how long, and with how many leaks?
Let's give him credit though...

First, major research was done. It seems that crankshaft pulley problems are somewhat common for this type of vehicle. The following links were very helpful. Mad props to the mercedesshop.com forums.
