Hi Max,
I did the replacement yesterday evening -- ended up removing the FH
after realizing this was NOT going to work leaving it in place on the
side of the engine. After getting the snap ring out - not easy -
coaxing (forcefully) the nozzle part out, I found the large o-ring is in
I think it diverts the fuel to flow through the other two lines, which make
a pass through a heat exchanger filled with engine coolant.

I kept calling it a Fuel Heater - the official name is a Fuel
Thermostat. Sorry - but from your description I wasn't too wrong...
Hmm... so I need to find that heat Exchanger - for my own curiosity --
there's certainly lot of stuff in there..
;-) Glad the leak has been fixed... my next
heat is added and not sure of the purpose of the piston.
The piston probably has a wax-filled portion with a pin,
same as the main coolant thermostat, and the windshield
washer fluid thermostat.
I never found any hoses that might add heated coolant to the FH, BTW.
Engine oil is also hot, as

No argument there! Seems like they intentionally try to make things
harder to understand - but i have trouble even /finding /the stuff i
need in the W124 WSM.

Thx Max - So... i will remove the snap ring and the nozzle will slide
out? i assume the larger o-ring is closest to the hose nozzle and the
smaller goes toward the rear of the FH?
Thanks again,
Larry

Hi All,
I picked up the correct o-rings from MB along with a meter of the
fuel line (they only sell it in 1 meter or more lengths) that runs from
the pre-filter to the T'stat (at $38!) but I figured if the hose would
last as long as the OE hose that was fitted when the engine was put

Larry,
Did this job on my '87 300TD years ago, as I recall the working parts are
quite boring. Not a whole lot to it. The interior assembly slides out, be
careful to keep out the dirt.
I also replaced both o-rings, the interior o-ring probably was fine and
didn't need to be replaced.
