tank

We just had a new fuel tank fitted in our 21 yr old E280 estate. Now I have a constant whirr from the fuel pump and fuel starvation particularly on corners and once a complete stall. What should I do now and should we have replaced the fuel pump. Will it clear through?? Help

Here's a question... How does a second fuel tank get connected? I.e. does it need it's own petrol pump, or is there a way to link it to the primary tank? Is it just gravity fed to the main tank? Anyone with some experience in the area willing to give me a primer? Trying to decide if...

Just curious what other owners are getting Is 350-400 on a tank around the town acceptable? Trip computer shows average mpg from 44000 miles 30.5mpg What are your figures?

Could owners kindly post up how many litres they have manged to get into the vehicle when brimming it. Think that I was on fumes as pump clicked off at just over a 100l. :doh:

C270cdi Can anyone tell what the fuel pump in the tank is for? and when it is meant to operate? and also how to check if it is working correctly? Trying to sort out a P1187 code problem.

Little much water pressure LOL from the article: You could say that this Mercedes-Benz 190E has light water damage after these guys obliterated its interior with a 1,000 bar Hammelmann tank cleaning unit. 12 pictures and video .

Has anybody had trouble with the fuel level sender in the tank. I have recently got a 2004 ML270 and every now and again the engine will not start until I put fuel into the tank BUT the fuel gauge indicates I have 1/4 tank , would it be that I need to replace the sender/ float system in the tank ?

It doesn't seem to be the coolant as there's a tank for that, or the brake or power steering fluid. Whatever it is is thicker than water, and it gets very hot. On the dip it's below min, so I'm keen to know! Thanks.

Hello good people of MBClub I need help replacing my 'Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor' in my 03 C240 BASE. Is the sensor located under the rear seat? Is it on top do I need to depressurize and pull the whole assembly? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi short quetion , i realise you cant run a common rail on pure veg , but will it be ok to put 25 litres in and top up with deisel to the brim ? just trying to save money ? veg in cash and carry is i believe around 70p a litre e320 cdi yr 2000

Hello! Yesterday I very foolishly decided to test the accuracy of the fuel computer in my CLK270 CDI. It turns out it is very accurate, and when it says you have 0 miles to empty, you do! :crazy: With assistance from work colleagues, I was dragged off the road and heckled all the way to...

I have notice some diesel coming from just inside the driver side rear wheel . Only a small amount but I can feel it wet through a small hole in the cowling underneath. Garage checked it and cleaned it but can find no problem. Has anybody had a similar experience in this very hot weather?

Why is it that the top half tank always gives more miles than the bottom? All my cars have done this..

I'm sure we owners know better than the handbook etc the true petrol capacity of our cars. I've only used Shell petrol stations twice recently and on both occasions iI've clocked uunbelievable fills. The last one shows 98.91 litres with the estimated mileage remaining showing 38 miles...

Well they're strange to me anyway.... Would anyone know what these two brackets on the header tank would be for. 2004 CLK240

Just another quick thanks to the team at MSL, for yet another grand job on my Merc :thumb: After the Dyno runs of last week we noticed that although the first runs IAT was normal at low 40's they peaked up to high 70's and didn't fall back below 50 degrees C, second run started at around 52...

Going off the manual 75 litres is the capacity of the fuel tank including 8 reserve .On a few occasions in the last month l have topped 76 .4 litres and another occasion 77.8 litres Now unless lm been stooged at the local servo, both have been separate filling stations or do petrol capacities...

Hi not sure if this is the place to post this. Took my clk 320 for its mot and it failed on a leak from the fuel tank?. The boy said that he cant see where the leak is but he can smell it and it was leaking from the top of the tank. There is less than half a tank of fuel in it and I cant see...
