Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Additional Fuel Tanks
Who wants to lose trunk space because they switch to WVO? Not I. It would be painful to lose half or all of my trunk space for a second tank.
So Nate you're saying these were made by Mercedes? And maybe I can still buy one for a 123 new? And for $45- I guess this is a used one? What is the IIRC? That's exactly what my mechanic told me -- they used the unused side well of the trunk. So I'm looking for a factory accessory fuel tank -- thanks!! knowing the name of the part will help find it.
