[diesel_mercedes] Newbie question #56 1978 300D fuel pump

 

Hello All

My 1978 300D (non turbo) is not running. I suspect that the fuel lift pump has quit. I blew the tank screen out with compressed air and added more fuel. I will replace the screen next weekend. Now I get fuel to the primary filter (it was dry). I have bled the lines. It still will not start.

Is there an easy way to test the lift pump?

I should add that I am running a mix of 1/3 diesel and 2/3 filtered used motor oil. It smokes a bit and smells bad, but the car has been running fine.

thank you
Rodger
