Does anyone know if the fuel tank in my '89 420SEL has any sort of drain on it?
Or will I need to syphon/remove and turn upside down to get the remaining fuel out?
Cheers, Martin
Driving along the M6 tonight my CLK320 (petrol) completely cut out and would not start again. This is the second time this has happened in as many months, although this time it was a bit more of a harrowing affair coming to a complete stop in the middle lane in rush hour.
The first time it...
Hi Guys
I do not know if here is the right place to ask questions about my fuel tank !
So I have a small problem slightly dangerous !
My fuel tank is leaking a little bit , I do noticed all the time when I top up !
I been last year to MB in Croydon to have my MOT done and they also find...
Does anyone know where the tank strainer is & how to access it on a 1991 250d? Found the "how to" on here but its for an estate model which is in a different place
Nothing wrong, would just like to clean it as changing all the filters & fluids on the car.
Thanks :thumb:
I have an issue with my W210 E320CDi, whereby when it reaches to between 1/4 and 1/2 tank, it cuts off. Its done this a couple of times, and inspection with a voltmeter at the correct points showed that it was deprived of fuel pressure at the front.
Having put in 4.5 litres of diesel, it...
I notice the W204 brochure states that the Tank Capacity with reserve is
"Tank capacity / with reserve (l) 59 / 8"
Does this mean the total capacity is 59 litres or 59 + 8 litres = 67 Litres.:confused:
If you can give me a quick insight I would appreciate it.
Hi, I get a loud creaking noise from around the spare wheel location when I have a ½ or more in the fuel tank, has any one else had this?

hi
i fitted a new exhaust to my car yesterday and because of the length of the pipe being slightly longer than the old one the pipe that leads to the backbox touches the body slighly and the diesel tank.
the pipe doesnt get that hot (can hold it with your hand) so i dont think its a big...
Fella's,
2weeks ago a mate bought a 190E 2.5, J reg from a chap from Wales who drove it down on a trailer in his very nice ML,all the way to NW london.
I must say very nice nick, grey/black, left hooker dog leg gearbox and boy has it got some poke or what?! seriously quick. :rock:

hi
my v230 have developed a lack of power and splutter under load. it is fine driving sensibly but as soon as i put my foot down or go up a hill in 4th or 5th it develops a spluter and stays spluttery! until turned off then re-started.
just under the air inlet manifold there is a 12v fuel pump...
Thinking of installing an oil catch tank instead of getting the fumes burnt in the inlet and filling all the pipes with gunk. Something like this: Oil-Catch-Tank Mercedes C 36 43 C43 C55 C63 CE200 AMG - eBay.ch (endet 03.04.11 20:43:01 MESZ)
What do you think? Good or bad?
hi
my OM606 diesel estate (1994 E300D W124 estate) has vacuum in the tank where i remove the filler and there is a rush of air. also i think the fuel is getting sucked back into the tank, causing starting problems.
one possible cause could be the tank breather? can anyone let me know...
I have a C180 2001, im going to fill the tank with petrol tommorow so i can stick a bottle of redex in to clean the injectors etc. My question is roughly what does it cost to fill the car up fully, have to make sure i have enough cash lol.
The W202 fuel tank senders are underneath the car on opposing sides. They are retained with a ring nut which is undone by a special tool.
Whilst they can be undone without a tool, sometimes they're easy, sometimes the aluminium the nut is made from corrodes to the steel of the fuel tank...
can anybody help me - i have been told this was a known issue and wanted to hear from anyone on this forum if you have had the problem and how it was resolved. My car is a S320 CDI 2006. Thanks for any replies.
Hi,
I've recently purchased a secondhand CLK C320 Avantgarde, unfortunately after a day of owning the car a very strong petrol smell is present in and around the car when driving and afterwards (moreso around the passenger side of the car in the middle). I took a look underneath the hood and...
Ok, not strictly true, but i couldnt word it properly..
I have a 2003 C220CDI. When the car is 1/4 full of fuel, and with the trip computer registering 100 miles, the car runs out of fuel. When i fill it from this point it takes approx 40 litres to fill.
This suggests, or so i have been...
Alright peeps
My 97 c280 always returned about 300 to 325 on a tank. But since my mot it now struggles to get 275 on a tank. The lambda was replaced and the backbox was changed for a used c36 box.
Any ideas what could be causing it ?
Cheers
