Re: [diesel_mercedes] Help bleeding fuel system after filter replacement

 

Helps to have the governor wide open for maximum injection volume.

Guys,

I meant to say that after the diesel purge, I changed the fuel filters, and so now I can't seem to get it to start. I think I've purged the air from the main filter by cracking the banjo fitting on the outlet line from the filter to the IP. I've also loosened the injector lines and after a cumulative 3-4 minutes of cranking (in 15-29 second bursts), still see no fuel at the injector lines. 

As I asked previously, am I missing something, a or do I need to just keep cranking?

Hey guys,

After completing the diesel purge on my 83 240D, I can't seem to get the fuel system bled. I cracked the outlet line from the main filter to the IP and got fuel out. Cracked the other end of the line (input) line at the IP and got fuel out. I've loosened the injector lines and cranked in 20 second bursts and haven't gotten anything at the injector lines. Cranked so much the battery needed a recharge.

Am I missing a trick or do I need to just keep cranking?

Thanks!

I added 3 gal of diesel yesterday so now reads a quarter tank.I found  today the driver rubber on the motor mount is one half completely gone.
I think that would be the culprit.

Just getting familiar with the mercedes and have had no other experience with them.A new to me 84 300D vibrates very loudly at idle.
It is so noticeable that the sunroof is making a loud hum.
I just got the car started this weekend. Owner had said the trans quit working and had lost the ign key.
I picked up a key and ign at the junk yard and added some trans fluid since it was about 1.5 quart low.
car seems it will drive fine now but have only drove it in the yard so far.
when it is at idle there vibration all over the car so anything that will make a noise or hum does so.
Rev the car up and the hum goes away.
It is possible I just need to idle the car up.
It kind of reminds me of the vibration I felt in a TR6 I had when driving and it turned out to the a drive shaft to rearend U joint.
But with the 300D the vibration is at idle in park.
Has any one seen this before?

I have not checked motor mounts nor have I checked transmission mounts.

First thing that comes to my mind is the air cleaner.
