fuel, first time ever
My fuel gauge was also showing quarter full, and it has been pretty reliable. So, I was going home around midnight on the highway, and suddenly felt a lost of power. Pulled over, and checked the engine area, with a bad flashlight, could see nothing. She started and went about 50 yrds and stopped again, and then restarted and went 50 yrds again, then nothing, she would start and sputter. I have lots of faith in her, and so I started her again, and she went about 10 yrds. So got her towed and next morning saw that the clear filter was bone dry. Clean though, so it must mean there is no gunk in the tank.
Refilled, and took about 100 pumps to hear the fuel going into the injectors. This car is amazing. No after effects from that night that I can tell.
Still struggles on hills, and while driving in PA, have had cops follow me to see why I am going 45mph up hills, but then they pull next to me, look at the car, shrug and leave me alone. Prolly need a valve adj, etc. after almost 3 years,
Also almost put gas in her, but corrected myself at last minute.
Steering gear needs to be replaced, is leaking slowly. New one is almost 500, plus 400 for core, so found a 1985 sdl, with same gearbox, and took it out. The 3 bolts are a royal pain, but 2 hours of wd40 took them out. Can be done much easier with the wheel off, but was not an option at the junkyard.
1984 300sd, 240k plus and counting, odometer is not working,
