[diesel_mercedes] Fuel filter housing discovery

 

While changing the fuel filters today, I found only half of the lower
seal on the bolt that goes in the top of the housing. A big chunk was
lodged in the hole in the side of the bolt, pretty much stopping it off.
I wonder where the rest of the seal is?
Even though I had the wrong filter (mine was not a cartridge, but a
spin-on), I did replace the clear one. It was filthy, but was not
clogged as I feared.
Maybe it was psychological, but it seemed to have more pep on the way
home from the shop. The right filter will be here tomorrow.
I sure like having a car that I can get parts for, vs. the Citroen GSA I
used to have! Two weeks wait for an oil filter and twice the price for
shipping!
