Subject: Re: [MBZ] 1979 240D, Blown Injector Line!!
Kleb should be able to sell you a line unless you can find one closer to
home you can pickup today.
The important thing with lines is that there should be NO tension on them
when you tighten them down, and the anti-vibration clamps have to be in
place. If you change the injection timing,, you will need to bend the
lines so that they fit. One trick I use on the 61x lines is to slip a 17
mm box wrench over the nut and then use it as a lever and fulcrum to bend
the line in place. It also needs to lay close enough to the line next to
it so that the clamp will not put stress on it. One other trick is to get
the line close, snug the 2 nuts and then ben the line slightly down and
up,
or into position for the clamp. after doing this, when you loosen the
nuts, the line will usually lay right in place so there is no tension on
it.

Today traveling back from (what else looking at a 1966 200D) I blew my #4
cylinder injector line right where it attaches to the injctor nut. (maybe
the 240D did not like he idea of me thinking of a 110 Chassis and let me
have it) Made a big mess. The clamp fell off and must of allowed enough
vibration (check those clamps for tightness lest you pay) I limped home
on
three cylinders.
Does anyone have a spare set of thes fuel lines they are willing to let
go?
Let me know please. Car is down until I get one. Really just need one to
#4 cylinder with the square clamp and 8mm nut and bolt.
