[diesel_mercedes] Routine Service And Repair

 



Thank you Odin ;

I try my best .

After I replaced the rear calipers on Tom's W-126 Saturday we headed off to my favorite local Junk Yard to look for old Dodge trucks and/or Service Bed equipped rigs to harvest fuel filler parts from , as we were leaving I discovered a 1979 Dodge D200 long bed " Adventurer " (means extra cost fully loaded) Camper Special that appears to have the correct original BIG @$$ 18 Gallon  Polyethlene (!) fuel tank in it , going back to - morrow to see if I can use parts off it .

There's yet another weird and wild story of exploding tires in Tennessee in July far from anywhere so it now has a 1949 Chevy 1/2 ton filler neck I'm keen to replace with the correct original one , moreso since Tom parked this replacement one against the security gate and mangled it recently....

Stay tuned , I hope to have happy news before long , ga$oline dripping on the ground is always a bad thing , plus worriesome and expen$ive to boot .

Still no joy on finding flexible fuel filler hose , it's gotta be out there as most Service beds use it....

-Nate
