Re: [diesel_mercedes] RE: No start again

 

At about 4 o'clock today when it was about 55 degrees in the garage it started up again and it has been running since. I didn't put the white bottle of diesel kleen last time and it was down below a quarter tank. When it stoped running it was about 20 degrees and had been sitting in 20 degree weather for about 6 hours. I don't know if this is another example of diesel fuel gelling or freezing or something but it is running now.

I had tried the red bottle diesel 911 but it didn't do any good. I also had put diesel heat in the tank before this happened. I hope I didn't cause any damage.

Thank you thank you for your help.

Mike ;

Before anything else , pump some alcohol through your primer pump to get 100 % of the water out as one tiny droplet will blow out your injectors .

I too am thinking either clogged vent in the fuel cap or clogged in tank intake screen .

How full is the tank ? .

How clean was the clear plastic intake screen before the primer pump ? .

We'll get you going but careful testing & diagnosis it this point is critical else you'll chase your tail .

Thursday night I had to get towed.  71 220D stopped running after 1 mile and will not start again.

Battery is new.  Fuel filter is new and prefilter is open. Car has sat in heated garage since and I have added 3 gallons of new fuel.

I removed the fuel pump and tested in a bucket of water and the primer pumped water in the bucket.

No fuel is coming to the engine when the bleeder screw is open.

I am thinking a blocked fuel line, not enough air in the tank but if anyone has any ideas please advise.  Thank you so much for your help.
