I fill mine with low volatility "summer gas" in September,
and start transferring the leftovers to the mower after
the sale of high vapor pressure stuff is banned again in
the spring.

Just shy of three hours and the power was back on, no
problems whatsoever.  Shut off the fuel cock and let it
run dry, switched the house back over to shore power.

Didn't use that much fuel, will probably have to siphon
a bunch out to fill the snowblower tomorrow!

Last thing I want is 4 gallons of gas going stale in that
thing.

Re: [MBZ] Camper?

Probably propane gas, its probably got a propane stove too, I think you can see 
it beside the sink. If you're going to be hauling a propane bottle around you 
might as well get double duty.
I wonder if you could setup propane injection for added hill climbing power.
The lack of detailed inside pics (or an engine pic) is disturbing.

Its not hard to force a stealer to put on new tars.  I did when I was 19.

No MB has has a real star since 1995 or so.  That is 20 years ago.  I 
doubt anyone in the stealership has been there 20 years.  They simply 
don't know how to straighten the star.  They have never done that.


The only things I don't like about the car are :
#1 price
#2 too old.  82 or 83 are more desirable, but they sold few cars in 
1982.  I want pencil GPs.

Good luck with that. I suspect most of the electronics, steel, etc. needed ‎in 
a World War situation are imported from countries who would be our enemies. Not 
good. 

(insert mao's standard banned sig)

As to the export of crude, my thought is Warren Buffet is buying into an oil 
company and/or a pipeline company and maybe we need the Keystone project after 
all.

How often do you replace glow plugs? They aren't terribly expensive and they're 
WAY easier to do on the older cars.
I like the older car to work on, less hoses and such cluttering up the place. 
If you're cruising around town I really like the York AC compressor too, it'll 
freeze you right out. My '83 might have had just a hint more power but neither

Re: [MBZ] The sky is falling!

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Well, there's a good reason why the federal government keeps a strategic 
petroleum reserve but doesn't have a strategic Mercedes reserve.  Oil is needed 
to power the war machine.

What I like is when they keep buying at $100 a bbl, and then some idiot
congresscritter wants to sell some of it for $40 a bbl to fund some foolish
scheme of his.

Re: [MBZ] Tools - HF Boroscope

[OK Don via Mercedes]

I have the more expensive of the two models they sold a couple of years ago
- it works great where it will fit. It doesn't work so great with the right
angle mirror - I think it's trying to focus on the mirror or something. I
used it when checking the oil pick-up tube in the O-470 Continental and
when cleaning the wing for the installation of a new fuel bladder. For the
latter job, a cheap web cam and a laptop worked better - wider angle of
view.

Re: [MBZ] 240D Cabriolet Motors, Raleigh

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

Yes, I have had monovalve problems like everyone else.  Once they were
fixed, however, they didn't break again, like most Mercedes repairs.

I am not a big fan of the manual s/r in my  two 123 wagons because I have
two surgically repaired shoulders (one of each), but at least I don't have
to stop the car and get out of the driver's seat to adjust them, as would
be the case if the cars had crank windows.

[OK Don via Mercedes]

The sunroof is manual - those a re far superior to the electric ones in my
experience (if you HAVE to have a hole in the roof). I wonder if the
staining around the sunroof and headliner is from using contact cement to
re-attach the headliner?

These look exactly like my Milwaukee borescope that I received as a gift 
several years ago. I just now checked it, and it still works. 
I would guess it is the same tool or a Chinese knockoff.

I'll send it to you (or you can drive up and get it) if you like and you can 
keep it until I need it, which I rarely do.

Re: [MBZ] Genny, again

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Is that AVGAS? AFAIK AVGAS doesn't have ethanol while most MOGAS does.
I put 1oz of Seafoam gas additive per gallon of gas into every can of gas I 
buy. Additionally equipment thats going to sit (like the snowblower over the 
summer) gets 1oz per gallon during storage. Since I've started doing that my 
problems with bad gas have gone way down.I did have to clean a carb and rebuild 
a fuel pump this fall for a snowmobile but its the one I bought last spring so 
it could have already been in trouble when I got it and in fact looking back it 
had a stumble I couldn't really account for...
The shutoff is suspenders and belt. My lawnmower has a shutoff and I run it out 
every time I shut it down. It starts fantastically well, like second or third 
pull every time I start it.
If Angie is going to start the lawnmower the choke will inevitably stick on and 
it won't start. She'll call me (in the Philippines for instance) and I'll 
explain that the choke sticks sometimes and all you have to do is tug on the 
little rod next to the carb and it'll come loose. She'll claim she's done that 
and it still won't start. I'll get home, pull the choke open and it'll start in 
a big cloud of smoke from all the gas in the exhaust...

Re: [MBZ] 240D Cabriolet Motors, Raleigh ACC

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

ACC is of NO value over manual controls, IF it runs.  It is actually 
of LESS value, because your options are very limited.


ACC is disastrously expensive to repair and a total PITA to try to 
diagnose.  BY FAR the most money I have spent to keep MBs on the road 
is for the fracking ACCMore than I spent for most cars i've ever 
owned.   Costs more than a 603 head.


ACC allows NO differentiation of left side/right side.

ACC does not allow you have the defrost on without the blower going 
FULL BLAST!  It is very annoying.   This is by far my greatest 
annoyance.  countless nights, and some days, I've had to drive with 
one hand while switching the DEF on, then the EC, back and forth for 
6 or 8 hours.   Manual controls let you run def with no blower (air 
circ from car moving) or blower at any speed.


My total cost for maintaining manual heating/defrost over 40 years is 
a dollar two for some o-rings and a little waterpump grease.


IMHO, the absolute  epitome of heater/Defrost is the 110/111/112/113 
series, and carried over into 114/115, but not the 116.


My ideal new MB if money was no object:  OM603 engine (yeah, the car 
would have to be shipped to lower slobovia) 5 speed trans with diff 
gearing near 3.0, manual driver's window and LR window.  Electric RF 
and RR windows, Rear window Def, Vacuum locks, ala 123,  A key switch 
and key lock doors, ala 123, tars on no less than 65 profile, manual 
sunroof,  DIN1 hole for a radio, manual seats, outside mirrors, both 
sides, 2 wipers.


Actually, except for ACC and a few electric things I don't want, an 
SDL  is pretty close.  123.123.10 is pretty close also.


I'd love to walk into the MB stealership and tell em I want a car 
built to my spec, then give em these specs, and show em the cash. 
They'd fall all over themselves until the factory tells em "no way." 
Then they'd throw me out.






ACC is WONDERFUL when it works - but is a real pain in the ass when it
doesn't.

Just do a search for an axle or differential.  go the page with the 
lowest prices, then start calling them for LCAs.  THey give you the 
phone numbers.   The junkyard doesn't know you got their phone number 
from car-part, but it sorts the ones who want to sell parts, not put

In my 110 200D, I could reach across and roll the RR window down or 
up.  That and the driver's window were all I ever needed to stay 
comfortable with no a/C.



Yes, I have had monovalve problems like everyone else.  Once they were
fixed, however, they didn't break again, like most Mercedes repairs.

I am not a big fan of the manual s/r in my  two 123 wagons because I have
two surgically repaired shoulders (one of each), but at least I don't have
to stop the car and get out of the driver's seat to adjust them, as would
be the case if the cars had crank windows.

Re: [MBZ] The sky is falling!

I don't have comparative statistics (not so easy to find unbiased info), but
my impression is that rail shipments go through populated areas and have
killed many people. One incident I read about in Quebec killed 47. The stuff
I read about pipelines is that they pollute when there are leaks, and that
the leaks are fewer, but spill more oil. My bias goes to saving more lives.

Re: [MBZ] The sky is falling!

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

The people of Nebraska REALLY didn't want it. The company building the pipeline 
made a huge mistake threatening the people of Nebraska with eminent domain. 
They basically got told they could take their domain and shove it. Without 
Nebraska onboard Keystone XL was pretty much in trouble. Obama followed the 
will of the people of Nebraska.
Whats funny is that most of those who really fought it in Nebraska said they'd 
probably have worked with the pipeline folks if they hadn't been threatened at 
the start...

My Saab 99 (a very aerodynamic car for its day and mine had a huge factory air
dam in front) would do an honest 200kph with the tach over redline, on 2 liters
and 8 valves. Don't know how fast it would have gone if the power peak coincided

Yup, they dealt with the whole thing as badly as could be imagined and 
basically got smacked around for it. I suspect another company could run 
essentially the same pipeline, be honest, offer to work with landowners, and 
get away with it.

The pipeline would have terminated at Cushing, OK - right in the center of
the current record breaking earthquake activity - how safe is that for a
pipeline?  There is no "safe" way to move large quantities of anything, so
you make your choice and live with the consequences. Isn't the option they
are taking now to pipe or ship the oil to the Canadian west coast?

Search eBay for - Mercedes w123 rear control arm‎ -. There are a couple, but 
not cheap. There is one in Rudyard MI, probably not too far from Mitch. 

You might try Silver Star in AZ.

I went to car-part.com to see if I could find any of the trailing arms
our '82 240D/3.0 needs for its rear suspension.

I could not search for any because I could not find what part name they
might call them.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
