You can still find good used replacement fuel tanks in wrecking yards.
Forget about a new one. From time to time we have good fuel tanks listed on
our website for reasonable prices.
been there and done that about a year ago, tank had algae buildup so I took
the tank out and pressure washed everything out of it squeaky clean then
put alcohol in to dissipate all the water, let set in hot sun for a day to
be sure it was dry put some clean diesel in and sloshed it around emptied
and reinstalled and has been fine since, still a video on the correct way
to remove would be nice just in case I ever have to do it again
I would love to see a video about changing the Fuel Tank. Also i wanted to
say, that your channel is awesome for anyone who ownes and loves his hold
Diesel Mercedes. Greetings from Germany!
An instruction video of taking the fuel tank out would be awesome. I dont
own a Mercedes yet but I’m very interested in buying an old W124. My dad
had one when I was a kid so it kinda stuck with me in the memories. Thank
you for posting these videos, I just found this video on Facebook and I’ll
start watching all your other videos.
thank you for a very good clip just changed the tank filter in a 190 2.5
diesel was running lumpy, loss of power the filter was gunged up so bad
suprised it even run !!!! all back together running spot on thanks again
for sharing this info
“Happy as a clam at high tide” is how the old saying goes. At low tide they
tend toward a depressive emotional state. It ain’t easy being a bivalve.
If you were to make the video, could you also show how to properly remove
and repair the fuel gauge sensor? Thank you for your videos, they have
always been very helpful.
Does anyone know how much a replacement tank costs? And where you could
find one?
I would LOVE to see a video about how to remove the fuel tank! I am
interested in turning the trunk of my 300 sdl into a WVO processing plant,
so i can use all the room i can get.
Had a horrible power loss in my 300D, my culprit was the old Primer pump
Kent I am always interested in anything that helps me maintain my original
owner 91 350SDL. Keep the info coming. Noodles
open clams look like they are smiling. 🙂
Definitely make the video on fuel tank removal. Lots of people are having a
power loss issue and this has to be a key component to fixing it.
I would love to see a video about removing the fuel tank
Bravo! This problem seems to be common on the old cars. How can the tank be
flushed & with what would one flush it?
Hi, I own a 1977 300D diesel and having the same problem Would kindly
appreciate it if you could do a video on how to take it out. Thanks a lot
Lester
I would love seeing a tank cleaning as well.
Neglect is the #1 killer of automobiles, Mercedes or otherwise. I like your
approach sir: look at the basics (first, fluids, filters, etc.) then dive
into the obscure possibilities. 9 times out of 10 it is something basic.
I’m wi Dale, would love to see a video about removing the tank!
Yes, do the video please 🙂
I have ’88 300SEL that sometimes loses power under acceleration. Could this
be my issue as well?
I would love to see that video and will check to see if you already made
it! thanks for the great videos!
Kent – the expression in full is “happy as a clam at high tide.” As you
probably know, clams burrow in the sand at low tide and aren’t doing much
eating. At high tide, they can feed. So that’s where the expression comes
from.
I’d love to see a fuel tank removal video!
A Fuel tank replacement video is an excellent idea! It would be worth
purchasing for sure!
