Re: [MBZ] 87 300d, oil pressure sender and washer fluid level sensor.
Price is much higher than I remember! Diagnostic procedure is 54-0254, and basically consists of checking the gauge reading when sender is disconnected (open circuit = 3 bar) and then shorting to ground (ground = zero bar). If the gauge fails this test, then problem could be in circuit or gauge. If gauge passes, then the sender is the culprit. Sender is screwed into the side/bottom of the oil filter canister, rather a pain to reach from above on an '87, may be a cleaner shot from below. -Max -Original Message- From: mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of Rolf Sent: Monday, June 14, 2010 6:24 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] 87 300d,oil pressure sender and washer fluid level sensor.

Re: [MBZ] Hard start problem returns
Mike, Don't know if this will help but... I had/have the same problem with my 6.5 diesel in the Chevy van. Doesn't happen in the winter but starts in the spring and summer down here in Fla. Didn't happen all the time either. I finally came to the conclusion that it had to do with the fuel and where I bought it. I think that some fuels have a lot more light volatiles in them and so when you shut the motor off the heat under the hood will cause a vapor lock condition in the injection pipes. The support in your case is that when you bleed the line the vapors come out and the engine starts right off. Same happens if you wait long enough for everything to cool and the vapors to turn back to a liquid. The proof is to leave the hood open after you stop the engine and come back an hour or so later and see if it starts without any problems. At least that seems to have worked for me on the van. It's too hard to get to the injector lines to bleed them so I haven't tried that though I may do that some time just to see if that works on the 6.5 Manfred Mike Esh Sent: Friday, June 11, 2010 3:28 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Hard start problem returns Car runs great!

Re: [MBZ] W123 coarse fuel screen RR
OK start at the other end and follow the fuel line back from the engine to the tank. At some point there will be a rubber hose attached to the hard fuel line, which will then go into the tank via a fitting at the bottom of the strainer filter. Or as someone mentioned, take the return line off, divert it to a jug or something, and run the engine until the tank is drained. --R On 6/15/2010 1:30 PM, andrew strasfogel wrote: Maybe on the inside of the tank, but I doubt it.

Re: [MBZ] W123 coarse fuel screen RR

Doesn't happen in the winter but starts in the spring and summer down here in Fla. Didn't happen all the time either. I finally came to the conclusion that it had to do with the fuel and where I bought it. I think that some fuels have a lot more light volatiles in them and so when you shut the motor off the heat under the hood will cause a vapor lock condition in the injection pipes. The support in your case is that when you bleed the line the vapors come out and the engine starts right off. Same happens if you wait long enough for everything to cool and the vapors to turn back to a liquid. The proof is to leave the hood open after you stop the engine and come back an hour or so later and see if it starts without any problems. At least that seems to have worked for me on the van. It's too hard to get to the injector lines to bleed them so I haven't tried that though I may do that some time just to see if that works on the 6.5 Manfred Mike Esh Sent: Friday, June 11, 2010 3:28 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Hard start problem returns Car runs great!

Re: [MBZ] W123 coarse fuel screen RR
So now I am worried. I thought all I had to do was unscrew the coarse screen filter with my 22mm hex tool (allen) but it appears the end of the filter that is inside the tank will be attached to some sort of fuel hose that i will need to disconnect in order to R/R the filter. Or maybe not. On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 4:43 PM, Dieselhead 126die...@gmail.com wrote: The 123 wagon tank is analogous to the underbody fuel tank in the 110, 111, 112, 108, 114 and 115 tanks, (pre-1977 or so) Drain is a large female hex in the middle of the bottom side of the tank. The screen is inside the drain plug. All three fuel lines go into the tank, and the inlet comes from inside the screen, then through the tank to the front of the tank, where it exits, as Philip says. You wrote There is no hose on the wagon. The filter screen is simply part of a huge plug that screws into the bottom of the fuel tank. LarryT wrote: Then how does the fuel come out and get to the engine? I have a spare fuel tank fitting in my garage - just looked at it - in the center should be a attachment for a fuel line to go to the engine - this is the main fuel feed. There's a return line elsewhere. The sedan is different than the wagon. On a sedan, the bottom of the fuel tank is above axles. On the wagon, the bottom of the fuel tank is the lowest point under the body between the bumper and the differential - analogous to the spare tire well on the sedan. So on the sedan, the fuel outlet is a hose attached to the middle of the strainer plug unit. On the wagon, it would promply be torn off! So the outlet pipe is actually inside the tank. It run from the strainer to the front of the tank and out through the side. Earlier I made an error in my correction of my previous error. Making a mistake when correcting an error is, well, embarrassing... The fuel supply line is not with the guage sender, but it's own port low on the front of the tank. Perhaps your tank has a drain plug? But it won't have a filter screen on it - no need for one. The plug for the strainer looks a bit like a drain plug - but it has as screen in it. It is actually a two layer outlet port. This is sort of like a banjo bolt. The screen has two sealing surfaces. The upper one seals to the tank body. The downstream side of the screen is the space between the upper and lower seals. This consists of a pipe wrapping around the hole - but with the side facing the hole removed. The pipe leads out to the port at the front of the tank.

Re: [MBZ] W123 coarse fuel screen RR
andrew strasfogel wrote: So now I am worried. I thought all I had to do was unscrew the coarse screen filter with my 22mm hex tool (allen) but it appears the end of the filter that is inside the tank will be attached to some sort of fuel hose that i will need to disconnect in order to R/R the filter. No. Or maybe not. Yes. When you unscrew the drain/screen thingy on the bottom of the tank, any fuel still in the tank will run out, follow your arm down and get you shirt soaked. But there are no hoses that need to be disconnected. Unscrewing the plug/screen also disconnects in from the feedline - which is a hard pipe, not a hose, leading out the front of the tank. -- Philip ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
