Many here will nod knowingly whenever I begin talking about fungus growing in the fuel of my beloved 1984 300CD Diesel Sports Coupe.......
Earlier this year I replaced the injection pump complete with one I salvaged from a badly rear ended 1985 300SD ~ that plus a set of rebuilt injectors stopped the tiny droplets of unburned Diesel fuel from blowing out my exhaust and spattering the back of the car and reduced the black/grey smoking to nil at the same time .
Since then I've never run it really hard flat out like i used to do occasionally .
I tried it the other day and discovered my old IP's governor was apparently broken as that car would top 125 MPH although I get scared over 95 ~ 100, this time it reached 105 then flat refused to go any faster .
Huh .
I'm still getting very fine silt in the paper element fuel filter I have in the fuel return hose, it went very dark in just under 300 miles and I'll prolly change it to - day or to - morrow as I need to tank up again .
The clear plastic intake screen only has a very small amount of shiny bits (steel I am sure) in it, no chunks of fungus, that's nice .
Maybe I'm close to done with bad fuel issues, who knows ? .
Tom was following me last night and says he sees over fueling in my exhaust although I can see _zero_ smoke in the headlights of cars behind me at stops .
