[diesel_mercedes] That Raw Fuel Smell

 

....Is what got me to finally address the weepy IP element but , I also looked into the trunk and discovered that somehow (ahem) a nearly full if opened bottle of Power Service' Diesel Kleen had worked loose from the right side trunk well and landed on it's side and had leaked out all over the trunk....


Sigh .

As soon as I had the element leak stopped , I unloaded the trunk , removed the drain plugs and got some cleaner , a clean rag and the garden hose and washed out the entire trunk , it was amazingly filthy and oily.....

When  it was clean I dried it as best I could in the twilight with a rag , loaded in only the spare tire , jack and lug wrench and wheel chock , headed off to SWMBO's house noticing the lack of fuel stench . 

Arriving at her place I grabbed the flashlight and popped the hood , the IP remains leak free , I really need to find an image of the IP's top discharge elements to ensure I know how they're supposed to fit .

I also need to wash everything I took out of the trunk , like the plastic side panels and carpet .

I hope when I retire I won't have so many 20 + hour days .
