[diesel_mercedes] Fungus Amongus '84 300CD Slushbox

 


So ;

The car is running well but I noticed some light black silty crud in the added on cigar hose filter, then the low fuel lamp came on @ 387 miles, a bit too soon IMO so I removed the fuel sender and opened it up, sure enough there was some fungus crud inside it, I was across town and I didn't have my delicate acid brushes so I carefully used a rag and some aerosol Ether (starting fluid) to clean it the best I could, the Ether ran out of course, then I re assembled the sender and put it in a glass vase filled with Biobor and went off to run errands with SWMBO in my 300TD, came home hours later and carefully drained the sender and re installed it, took off to do some errands and gt stuck in rush hour traffic, after a few miles of very slow driving the low fuel lamp went out and has not come back on ~ I'm now @ 460 miles, as long as the low fuel lamp is still working I think I'm O.K. .

The gauge currently reads 'R' .
