[diesel_mercedes] Re: fuel filter Replacement : EASY Bleeding

You _can_ use Diesel but filling the filter with _any_ Diesel
additive acts as a preventative shot whilst you're doing routine
service ~ once you've cleaned the fungus , dirt & general accumulated
snot out of your Diesel and see/feel how much better it runs , you'll
understand .

Fuel filter replacement is only done once a year or 10,000 miles sp
it should be financially do-able .
