Here we go again..... =8-( .
I was changing the oil & filter in my '84 300CD Sports Coupe and noticed the dreaded black chunks in my previously sparkly clean intake fuel screen.....
!DANGIT! .
So , I waited until to - day when I have less than 1/4 tank of fuel so it won't dribble all over when I remove it (the other plan would be to park facing uphill on a slope) , removed the screen and held it vertical as I tapped it , waited as the chunks of miniature coal settled out of the screen and into the intake nipple held firmly against my finger , waited some more , tapped it again , waited some more , eventually the chunks falling loose were *so* tiny they barely had sufficient weight to drift lazily downwards through the fuel so I blew it out backwards & called it good .
Now I have to go buy another jug of Startron by Starbrite & begin dosing it at each fillup.....
I only use branded fuels but I always have more dirty fuel problems than anyone I've ever met .
_SIGH_ .
