concerning screen in tank, I used to have an 80
300cd. Ran 100%bio for one year then sold car. Nevereven knew about
the tank screen. My friend has a 240D and a 300cd. The 240 has been running
100BD for 11/2 years with no problem with the screen and the 300cd no problem
with the screen yet.(only about 6 mo's on
BD100).Dave

Subject: [Biofuel] In-tank fuel
screen
Hello to All,
I'm trying to remove the
filter from inside the fuel tank of a 1982 Mercedes 300DS. Told that there
might be an access panel to the fuel tank,we have taken out the back
seats andthe covering in the trunk to expose the fuel tank from the top
and 2 sides. Having no success, we tried to unbolt and pull out the tank, but
were thwarted there as well; it wouldn't budge. Fortunately it got dark before
we (my father-in-law is my accomplice) could cause any irreparable damage.
Can anyone give us a
better plan before we disassemble the whole vehicle?
Side note: The previous
owners maintained the car very well and used a fuel additive that claims to
remove water from the system and keep the fuel system clean. After 800 miles
of BD100 I checked the prefilter to findjust 2 tiny black specks
visible. Is it possible that I can forgo the ordeal of removing what my
accompliss refers to as "the sock" from the tank?
My wife loves driving
the car and having a fillup station at our house.I dread the thought of
getting a call on a cold, rainy night that "the car stopped".
I'm ready to go in and
find that darn sock if I must.
Help appreciated
Tom
