[diesel_mercedes] Digby's Travails

Thanx ! .

I don't often watch videos but those were entertaining and informative .

Some here may recall that my 1984 30CD's injection pump's delivery valves were corroded and the wells full of occluded fuel ~ I removed all the delivery valves and cleaned out the occluded fuel then tried a parade of used delivery valves to no good effect so I then purchased a set of five new delivery vslves, that helped some but not enough .

It was interesting that Kent here didn't say ' rust in the IP means it's junk' as so many told me .

I watched all five videos and hope to see #6 ere long .

I didn't bother to type Mercedesresource as I thought Kent was well-known enough to omit that. Digby looks to be a very nice car and well worth spending some money on. Kent might have replacement engine anyway. He's just bought a breaker, see the latest upload, and he recently sold a couple of good engines. It's good YouTube content either way and splitting up this content adds to the clicks. Earning your $, 1 cent at a time.

Thanks for your reply.

[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Fungus

Please not that this current issue is with the very first Mercedes I bought, close to twenty years ago and it's never until now, had any fungus issues .

My Coupe OTOH, came to me with a badly screwed up fuel system and yes, it took me a few _YEARS_ to ket fully clean .

So far (fingers crossed) the wagon is doing fine .

I'm now a firm believer in Bibor fuel treatment, Mercedes says it's the only approved fungus treatment .

I'm pretty sure my habits of buying fuel late at night or before the buttcrack of dawn is why I have so many dirty fuel issues ~ ask Tom, I've never met anyone, not even Customers who gets as much bad fuel as I do

Gas or Diesel,. if there's bad fuel to be had, I'll find it .

Derek,

Funny you're asking Nate about fungus, as he's been dealing with fungus issues forever.

We still don't know how he does it. Maybe it's where he buys his diesel.

Others have an issue and it goes away with a bottle of Startron, yet with Nate is more chronic.

After saying this, I better go buy a bottle of Startron, to make sure I'm clean.

One bad fungus episode, where I almost got stranded.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Fuel Economy

Thanks for the link. Interesting on the injector pump valve check, never seen or done that before.

Nate and I were pop testing injectors over here once, with one of Ken's older pop testers.
