I'm pretty sure the pump has prime. Each time I've tried to start it, I pull
the fuel lines and run them from a bottle of fresh diesel (just like running a
purge). I pump the primer pump until strong shots of diesel shoot out of the

If you see oozing, my guess is that the pump is ok. if the caps are loose,
you see fuel ooze. if the caps are cracked just right, you will get high
pressure spurts. about 1/16 turn to 1/8 turn is cracking the line.
it is more likely that you have low compression/stuck rings or bad glow

the only good way is turn engine fast.

The quantity of fuel ejected from the injection line with each cycle of

a liter an hour at idle. In an hour there are maybe 72,000

Mercedes has no specs for cold compression checks. They can be useful for
