tank

Hi I am looking to remove the fuel tank on my 1985 W123 230E in order to give it a degrease and acid clean. Does anyone have experience of removing the tank? I have removed the sender, drained the tank, disconnected the fuel line to the fuel pump and have removed the four nuts that hold the...

How can i manually check how much fuel in the tank if the gauges arent working? :confused:

The use of this water tank upgrade will allow extended heat dissipation in all climates, and will also allow the user to apply ice to the intercooler system if needed to further chill the air charge temperature as it enters the intake path. The tank also contains a large capacity ball valve...

We have been working on a new split cooling system for E55's. It uses an under bonnet tank in place of the dust filter. One of our customers and members on here lent me his beloved E55 so we could develop the system. A massive thanks to Tony (Ginger55K) for the car and patience! The car in...

My 300TE passed it's MoT today, which I'm very pleased about, but while it was on the ramp the tester showed me that the hard breather line from the fuel tank to the filler was very rusty. (Annoyingly this was an advisory on the old MoT and the vendor told me he had sorted it.) The thing...

Hi Guys A friends 2007 S320 CDi was involved in a front end accident. One of the parts to be replaced was the front air tank situated just behind the bumper. Cars been repaired and out, but the front suspension has become very very stiff. Doesnt seem to adjust with the ride height button...

Hi 2002 w203 c220 cdi coupe auto. When the fuel falls to a 1/4 of a tank the car will cut out and struggle to restart but if I add a gal or two it will start no probs. Done a bit of searching here and it looks like it may be the hp fuel pump although I am not sure. Can the hp pump be refurbed...

I found this morning that my W124 estate 300TE-24 (non-cat model) has a pretty big leak from the fuel tank. It wasn't there at the weekend. It's coming from the left hand side (looking forwards) where there are 3 rubber pipes connecting to it. It could just be one of the hoses or it could be...

So far I have hit 420 miles with more then a quarter tank remaining does this sound about right mainly at 70mph with some short bursts Of speed in between what are other users getting? Thanks Niket

today I managed to drive the CLS into a petrol station when the display was showing 0.0 gallons remaining, with a range of 1 mile ... this was semi deliberate :) I then pumped in 76 litres, and convinced myself that the fuel gauge was always pessimistic. However, I managed to put in...

Local mechanic has tried but there is still stuff left in. I was trying to run it on vegetable oi and it wasnt filetered properly and it blocked the pipes and car ended up stopping totally Now do i TOTALLY empty/drain the tank and of whatever is left as after garage chlaimed they had...

Not sure if this is the right section so please move if it's needed. On Thursday I filled the car up with my normal BP Ultimate and as it was below the 1/4 mark as you do you start looking around as it was a very hot day :D Anyway as i turn back to see how we was going i noticed a mist or very...

This link pinched unashamedly from Bear :thumb: on the Official Mercedes-Benz Club forum details the building of a German Tiger Tank Replica [ lots of piccies!]----- only in Russia!!!!:p

I'm hoping someone can help out there. My 2004 C270 diesel was running fine, got home switched it off, next day it wouldn't start. Thinking it may be out of diesel I put a gallon in it and away it went, went to filling station and found I could only get 40 or so litres in it. A few days later a...

I need to change my fuel tank sender but there is an obstruction inside the tank preventing me from fitting the new one; looks like plastic ribbed piping; anyone got any ideas what this may be?

Hi all. I'm hoping the title will get you interested. I'm thinking of buying a non-runner CDI270 '02 as a replacement for my wheezy old C220 estate. The current owner came to the car one morning and discovered the fuel filler cap had been forced open. Assuming it was an attempted diesel theft...

Hi all, well all you guys with R230's around the 2003 and onwards a few years start to worry if you have not had the dreaded banging from the petrol tank informing you that the baffles which MB kindly put in to stop the fuel from sloshing around,shame,have come loose and will necessitate you...

Hi good morning,just got a nasty shock after having a big service,heard this clanging noise a few days ago and could not find out what it was but my mechanic did,it seems that this model R230 from 2003 on has this fault in the fuel tank,the baffle was put in to stop the fuel from slushing around...

So the fuel tank senders on my c250td are out!!! Not a hard job, just tapped the rings round with a piece of timber and a hammer. Does anyone know about the pipe that connect to two halts of the tank together? I managed to take it off from the passengers side of the tank but it seems to be fixed...
