Re: [diesel_mercedes] Tool Use Note

 

Um... on my 240D and 300SD, the main fuel filter in the engine compartment is a small spin on filter, kind of like an small oil filter.  There is no associated wrench flat.  I spin 'em on by hand, loosen with the filter wrench (strap wrench). SWMBO passed in '08, was remarkably tolerant of my abnormal kitchen practices, though did get a bit testy of my heat treating cast bullets in the oven.. bk --- On Thu, 4/28/11, Nate <vwnate1@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Nate <vwnate1@yahoo.com> Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Tool Use Note To: diesel_mercedes@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, April 28, 2011, 7:25 AM   ?? the fuel filter takes a 23 MM wrench to change...... and a box end one at that , I've seen too many leaky secondary fuel filters from M-B owners using the supplied open ended toolkit wrench . If you're using an oil filter wrench on it , that's a bad thing to do . _DON'T_ let SWMBO catch you using shop tools in the kitchen !
