Re: [MBZ] Fuel gelling and diesel prices

Thanks - I'll check.  Is there a part number? Probably, but I don't know it. I had a number of old cars that had these weird black plastic shards in the bottom of the doors, and then I ran into one that actually had the thing intact. Mystery solved. -- Jim

Yes I bought some too after receiving on this list. Completely Freed up lock keying on my 124 300D trunk lock with no disassembly. I think it is amazing. Dwight Giles Jr. 1982 300CD 1990 300D Wickford RI On Jan 11, 2016 6:23 PM, "OK Don via Mercedes" wrote: > Someone,

I keep a bottle "Diesel 911" in the trunk for just such an occasion, haven't had to use that yet here in SC. Imagine that! $1.41 is pretty amazing, filled up both our oil burners at 2.19 / gallon last week. Local grocery chain sells loyal customers gas cards at a 20% discount, so my price is

I know fuel additives are verboten on this list but in the winter I add a couple ounces of Howes Diesel Treat to each tankful. Supposed to boost cetane, make donkeys fly etc but no gelling in over 10 years even with subzero temps. OM 602 will start @ 0F without block heater. Dwight Giles Jr.

Re: [MBZ] Fuel gelling and diesel prices

My door handle works perfectly EXCEPT when temperatures dip below freezing. It's not a lock issue, it's a drainage issue or an issue that allows water to penetrate into the keyhole and freeze about 1/4" deep into the keyhole, blocking the key at that point. Does anyone know whether water is
