Re: [MBZ] Diesel purge.

I just did this yesterday. Here's how I did it: Two pieces of clear hose about 18" long. New primary (inline) and secondary (spin on) filters. Removed old secondary filter. Filled new secondary filter with Diesel Purge and installed. Removed "cigar" hose (return line) at the filter head and

Lazy way is to refill secondary filter with Purge when you change the filter. Dwight Giles Jr. 1982 300CD 2005 E320 4 matic Wickford RI On Nov 28, 2016 12:58 PM, "Meade Dillon via Mercedes" wrote: > I left out a lot of stuff, like the fact that the steel supply line and

I left out a lot of stuff, like the fact that the steel supply line and maybe even the return line will leak fuel when you remove the rubber lines, so be prepared to deal with that and other things that will come up. - Max Charleston SC On Mon, Nov 28, 2016 at 12:56 PM, Meade Dillon

Re: [MBZ] Diesel purge.

In the engine bay, on the inside of the left front fender, there are two steel fuel line connections. Attached are rubber fuel lines that go to the engine. The "fat" swollen looking hose is the "cigar" hose and is the return line. Mark the steel line it attaches to so you can keep the steel

The more I look into this the more I’m thinking I should disconnect the EGR to eliminate the garbage that it’s introducing into the intake. When I swap my injectors I think I’ll go ahead and pull the intake manifold if things look messy and clean it out. I know there’s oily crud in it.

No, ALDA lines provide pressure from the turbo. Oily mess inside the intake from the EGR valve can migrate through the pressure lines to the ALDA. Leaking pressure lines will also reduce engine power, so maybe that is related to increased fuel consumption? -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87
