[diesel_mercedes] Little red triangle light next to the fuel gauge.

 

Last night while driving home with a bit over half a tank a red light next to the reserve symbol went on and won't go off till turn off the car.  Upon turning the car on again it's still red.  What is it?  Lawrence Rhodes......

[diesel_mercedes] Re: High pressure hose for self leveling TD system.

 

I guess what I am asking is there a normal hydraulic fitting that screws into the factory hose?  If so is it a 10 mm, 12, or other metric size?  Do they tend to seize?  How to safely remove it?  Or should I just use brute force? Also are there check valves that will keep the fluid from squirting out under the release of pressure?  Should I jack up the back end or not....Inquiring minds want to know. Lawrence Rhodes.....

I don't know Lawrence but I applaud your Comedic approach : "  However if all goes as planned it should be a 10 minute job.  "

Nate,

I've only found B20 in SoCal, though it could be around.

Searching the web, I found a forum that said this place had Bio-Diesel,
yet their site doesn't say that.

I used to buy Bio-Diesel every time I traveled to NoCal, Mendocino county
http://www.simplefuels.com/availability.html

I haven't been up there for a while.

The fun part is when the lines to the rear of the car rust out.
