I wonder if the replacement will work on a big OM372. The one on the Pisten Bully leaks terribly when in use. Seems fine when locked down though.

As I recall, when these fail the engine will not start. Is it possibly the original “mushroom” style pump with the white plastic knob that you have to unscrew to release it or the updated version with the black (fixed) knob? If it’s the original version I would change it to the updated pump on principle. -D > On Mar 15, 2023, at 9:53 AM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > My 1985 300SD was running fine until I drove it onto the sloping driveway, > with the car facing uphill.
