[diesel_mercedes] Re : Fuel Tank Drain

 


The only drain is the 7MM hose connected to that big 46MM nut looking thing underneath the car .

Be aware that once you undo this hose , _ALL_ the fuel will come rushing out very quickly , have several drain pans handy and plenty of CLEAN non oily towels for the Diesel Fuel that's going to soak you and irritate your skin .

I'd use a long rubber hose down the fuel filler neck to siphon out as much as possible before removing the 46MM thing , it is the in tank screen and will need gentle cleaning with an old toothbrush and fresh gasoline or better , replacement .
