[diesel_mercedes] Re : Fuel Economy & Leaky Filter Bolt

 


Yes Max ;

Wa$ted fuel i$ ALWAYS bad ! .

I can't help it tho' ~ I went yard hopping with Tom Sunday and only _one_ bolt to be had , I took it but it was slurpy with fungus so -not- going on the car I just fungus treated (again) , besides , the lower O-Ring was rotten and fell off & got lost.... (I now have two O-Rings)

To - day I went to pick up the crush washers (yes , plural , I ordered spares) only to be met with a blank stare and " Dealer part only ") ~ that's fine , he gets me Dealer parts ona regular basis...... why not *this* time ? who knows .

I ran errands all day working my way East from L.A. to Arcadia where my local Mercedes Dealer is , stopping at every European Partshaus and Indie M-B Shop I knew , no joy . when I pulled into The Dealer I know enough to carry in my registration for the VIN , he looked it up on the EPC (same one I can't make work) and in time I showed him where to look for the part I needed , turns out there's two versions and I needed the engine serial # to discern which one , it was 107* F outside with the engine idling keeping SWMBO in cool comfort so I asked if maybe I cou simply order two of each one..... he smiled and said " but of _course_ ! we're supposed to stock them both so just come get the ones you need , no worries " .

So , out there it sits , stil dripping lightly , soon to be fixed .
