Re: [diesel_mercedes] Doing some R&D need your help

 

ps - one post I read in a forum also mentioned same symptoms due to banjo bolts needing cleaning with carb cleaner. This guy started cleaning his banjo bolts every 6 months when he changed his oil.

Barry,

Have you checked fuel filters? My 300D had a similar problem but not so pronounced. I found that I had fungus in my fuel tank that was clogging the fuel filter. The clear filter was looking black and the sending unit in the tank was covered with black slime. Let us know if you discover the same problem. There are corrective measures short of dropping the fuel tank.

Now I don't know what to believe, I'm just trying to make this car drive, right now it slow down to 10 mile an hour driving up a hill if I don't get it up to 50 before I go up it.
I'm just hoping to have a engine that will get forty miles a gallon or better but the motor should have a little better pick up I not trying to make a race car, what do you guy think of that?thanks again for your response, Barry
