[diesel_mercedes] Re: air in the clear fuel line from the secondary filter to the injector pump.

 

Don't know how you have it rigged but if you tighten clamps and everything above the filter your problem should go away. Make sure the big filter is tight, too. I think the return is a separate system, doubt if it would cause the problem. I rerouted my return to avoid the banjo. Took the banjo out altogether. You can plug that banjo bolt hole with a 20 mm bolt (I think it's 20 mm but check my math on that) but you need the right thread pitch, too. I got mine at NAPA, they had it in the store in stock no problem. Matched it up with that hollow banjo bolt and it works fine. Never understood why return went through that banjo bolt anyway...

I converted my 82 to the new system and have had no problems.  It was done by the dealer!

Nate,

My German guy here in Houston is cussin me every time I,see him for allowing my R12 system to a newer product. It barely works in this heat, even with your pencil inserts,in center dash. He says it will get no better until I go back to R12.

We can't turn back the hands of time, but Damn,if we can't try.
