I am pretty sure that you are supposed to drain the fuel tank every now
and then to get rid of any water sitting in the bottom of the tank.

Germany and not just in Europe.

A quart of Diesel Kleen (thank you 24 hour Wal-Mart) fixed the issue eventually.

One other thought about this: Fuel in Germany is always good.
Electricity in Germany is always stable at 50 HZ and 240 or whatever
the voltage is. This is
A load of bad fuel is rare. I have a bad load of fuel maybe once in
10 years. One was a major truckstop. one was an elevator pump your
own, which is generally safe. Adding an additional filter is
perhaps overkill, but a good water separator can save you a lot of
hassle. Bad fuel comes in
If you get a load of bad fuel, it can pay for itself quickly. If
your fuel is always good, you don't need it. How's that for a
political answer?
I ran the roosaMaster Filter on my 200D. I have not added one to
later diesels. At the time, the Master Filter took out smaller

Yeah, what exactly is the issue here?
We've had mercedes diesels in the family since the early 80s and never had
water/fuel related issues, and always used factory filtration.
Is fuel quality that bad in some parts of the country?

racor is the normal add on choice. But if you can find an
escort/tempo dissel in a junkyard, they had a filter/separator/heater
that worked pretty well.
I like the stanadyne see-through as in John Deere (US not japanese)
