tank

looking for advice on this one have a W123 estate with a slight weep from tank when fulled to brim, with a small damp patch where main filler pipe enters tank. is there any access to tank from under boot floor (or extra seat row in my case) or am I looking at having to drop the entire tank...

Yes - my tank baffle has gone and MBUK are denying any liability, although it is clearly a "not fit for purpose issue". Anyone have any details or photos of what is in the tank, knows how to deal with it [Other than being abused by MBUK], or can recommend an independent - with suitable...

I'm upgrading the fuel system on my 300TD, which I'm going to write about on my diary thread soon, but in the meantime I have a question. A replacement tank was fitted a few years ago, before I bought the car. The metal fuel lines running the length of the car are both 8mm OD, but the tank has...

Apologies if there is another thread, but how many miles do you get on a full tank? I tend to get between 360-380 in my 1994 E220 estate. Is this normal? Also if I ran in sport mode how many miles would I get, would it make a big difference to fuel economy (I haven't been brave enough to do it...

Slight leak on Sunday below the tank, filler cap was black and looked oily. Local diesel specialist confirmed the tank is being held on by rust so just a matter of time. Anyone know of a genuine tank for above car for sale?

As the title states, any suggestions? (Yes i'm tight, it has a full tank of petrol which we'd like to collect while picking up other parts :D)

Was having surging idle and stalling problems so went to change fuel filter only to discover fuel leak from filler pipe to tank weld. Would this have affected the fuel pressure? Being before the pump I can't see how, does the pump rely on the tank being relatively airtight? My manual doesn't...

i posted a week ago about blocked fuel strainers on various fourums. the general concensus was that it couldnt be that bad. i was convinced it was blocked due to the fuel pressure fluctuating dependednt on how much fuel was in it, and the slow speed of discharge when i drained the tank to fit...

i am convinced that my fuel tank partially blocked. i am not sure what mechanisms are inside it. the outlet is underneath and appears to have a threaded bung used to attach the rubber outlet pipe to the tank. does anyone know what is inside, is there a strainer something else that may be...

Howdy Chaps, do any of you know whether it is possible to change the fuel sender unit without the full removal of the fuel tank? Had mares trying to get the new one in and it still wasn't possible after taking off the 4 bolts as there wasn't much give either way (the previous owner must have had...

Does anyone here know the ACTUAL fuel tank capacity for a CLK 230K W208? I stupidly managed to run out of fuel and was wondering what the full tank capacity actually is. The manual say 62 litres - but does that exclude the reserve tank of 5 Litres (to a total of 67 litres) or is that inclusive...

Well it sounded a bit like one.... Seems that after my epic exhaust bodge last week I neglected to tighten the flange bolts properly...:doh: Still, better than what I assumed, which was that the bodge job itself had simply fallen apart. So, point to add to the knowledgebase, exhaust flange...

Had an issue with engine cutting out following fuel filter change - this turned out to be air in-leakage via the rubber fuel hose connecting the chassis supply to the pre-heater and is now solved. However, it now appears that the fuel from the passenger side of the fuel tank is no longer being...

Hi All, I know this may sound like a silly question to some, but do you any of you guys know whether the sudden rush/whoosh of air that escapes from the fuel tank when you take off the petrol cap is normal :dk: I also get a 'popping' sound (best way of describing it is like a metal can that...

Anyone tell me the fuel tank capacity (litres) of the W203 220 cdi (i don't have a handbook)? Thanks

Hi, C250 turbo estate '96. Fuel starvation at engine - all O rings & pipes changed but still loads of air after 1 day. Removed pipe to fuel tank & sucked & just air coming through! Fuel in tank (reserve light not on) Any ideas anyone?? cheers Chris

Our 1989 230TE petrol tank has succumbed to the neck rusting problem. I have been looking for an new aftermarket fuel tank, which seems to be a bit difficult to source. My question is although our car is a non-cat model, would a cat model tank fit? Or is the only difference a restricted filler...

HI anyone know how much the tank on Kredg ,124 d saloon holds? thanks steve.o :doh::bannana:

Hi, I have a problem: a few weeks ago my CLK200 '98 manual cut out and wouldn't start again. 30 minutes later it starts no problem. I can drive around 10 miles then it cuts out again and I have to wait around 30 minutes before the car starts. MB garage said: that's the petrol pump. So I...
