Subject: [diesel_mercedes] GAH !

After a tiresome day at work I went home to address the weepy IP and fuel filter head on my Coupe , I stopped by pep Boys and grabbed a couple LED tail light bulbs as one brake light went out , spent several hours fooling with the # 1 injector line and cleaning the crud out of the element in the IP ~ I don't have a decent size magnet to remove the lower ring part and in rattling it around and up and down with a dental pick , I discovered lots and lots of dirt in there I had to clean out .
The steel pipe was damaged at the IP end so I grabbed a spare one , cleaned it all up , re assembled and fitted new Mercedes O-Rings to the weepy bolt in the secondary filter , de greased the entire engine and undercarriage , cleaned _me_ up a little bit and made it to the filling station where I filled it up , the damn thing STILL WEEPS FUEL 
GAH ! .
It smokes on take off from a dead stop although the smoke tapers off a lot once it's spooled up and zipping along , I HATE EXHAUST SMOKE and want to now replace the entire IP in spite of it running well , very well indeed .
I'm beat , going to bed in a moment .
I just had to rant a bit , I know folks here will stifle their laughter and pat my shoulder like they care
