[diesel_mercedes] Injectors

 

I've got 6 dirty, old, used Bosch KCA 30S44 injectors I'm going to throw
out unless someone wants them for postage (5.95). Looks like they will
clean up OK in an ultrasonic.

I've got a couple of mechanics who want it who live near here so I'm
covered. At least one of them will fix it and keep it, but I don['t
know about the other one.

I wish I had a backyard. I'd probably keep it....

It does run and drive but leaks water from somewhere. I am assuming
that it has one of those bad heads, which is now cracked, but I had the
engine rebuilt and thought I got the correct newer head. Could be a bad
head gasket too but there is no water in the crankcase. Well, whoever
gets it can sort it out.

[diesel_mercedes] Topic Drift

 

Thanx Bill ;

It's been a very long , hard and strange road for me .

I have tried to learn from others .

I have a large Family , six blood Siblings plus two step Siblings , one each Brother and Sister .

I don't know if all Families have the same sort of troubles we do , we're all fairly estranged , a sad thing .

I do know that you only have one life to live and it's not fair nor promised to see to - morrow .



I'm old 60 years old yet I feel much older having done so many foolish and poorly conceived things , the Family I have is precious to me , even those member to whom I don't speak .


Life is a precious gift , I am only here now for the grace of God or chance if you prefer .

[diesel_mercedes] fluid to prime fuel filter

 



Yes *BUT* ~ you should use some sort of Diesel Fuel additive or plain old Diesel Fuel......

What you're looking for is a thin liquid that'll flow easily and have the right compression ignition characteristics .

So , using some sort of Diesel rated fuel injector cleaner would be good .


Remember to pump the black primer pump 40 + times then cycle the glow plugs twice , hold the throttle to the floor then crank and keep cranking until all five cylinders are running ~ if you let off the key it'll most likely stall out .

Once it's running , hold it to a fast idle , about the same as driving 20 MPH but keep it in neutral , let this go on for several minutes to fully bleed all the air out of the system .

Can one use alcohol to prime the secondary fuel filter on a 1980 300TD?  I'm running veg oil.  It really doesn't like to be charged when cold. (Never done this before)I usually do it hot.  I didn't fully fill the secondary filter with fluid.  Got a big bubble.  Ran the battery down.  Need to take the filter off fill and try again.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: two temperature sender looking things on my 240D

 


The second one is for the glow plug relay.....

Guys:

I picked up a good running 240D last Friday and, like my 300TD, it has two temperature senders near the front of the engine. At least they look like temperature senders. I know one of them is for the temp gauge on the instrument cluster . . . but I don't know which one that is.  Does anyone here know which one goes to the gauge and what the other one is for?

Hi Jerome ;

I'm very sorry to hear this .

I wish I had anyplace to store it bit my back yard is jammed full of 1/2 finished projects now .

Maybe the charity people will take it ? .

I've forgotten , does it run and drive ? .

I know it is bad form to reply to my own email, but I've received no
interest whatsoever from anyone about this car. It appears that no one
wants it so it's going off to be sold as scrap unless someone steps in
and takes it.

It's free. Such a deal. You'll just have to wait a little to get it
until I have my new car. Possibly before Thanksgiving.
