Diesel RVs: [diesel_mercedes] Re: 800 mile trip in MB, heater issues, buzz, I shouldn't have messed with our Volvo's fuel line.

Thanks for the repair advice. If I didn't find a donor today, I'd be looking for other options. I did found a car at the PAP, and took the fuel line off for $11. I then bought a new fuel filter, as the fuel line attaches to the filter. It works, so the wife is happy. (me too)

I didn't see too much in the way of MBs at the PAP in Stanton, CA.
No 123s over there, though a few newer ones. (124 & 126 in believe)
No Metros either.

Now, back to driving around in the MB.
Thanks again.
