The term comes from the sound of a hammer striking a large nail. A short
sharp "crack" with no regular pattern. It's a combustion noise caused by a
less than perfect spray pattern
Hahahahaha. I understand now.

If you can still hear it when you go inside to pay for the fuel and the door
shuts behind you, it's nailing.

It's less regular, and deeper, but not as loud as a knock in a gas engine.
Sounds kind of like a nail being hammered into wood, hence the name.

Does anyone know what model of Racor filter set up to
purchase? Anyone recently install a Racor filter?
I've had this issue with my 240D since I purchased it
8 1/2 years ago. 120k miles and a new set of
injectors three years ago have not changed a thing.
TIA

Not true. I got a headache from the throbbing 1980 300D. The 83 and
85 have no such problems and are relatively quiet... despite far
greater mileage.

My observation has always been that the non-turbo 61x's were more quiet
than the turbo versions. Maybe its just me.

The average MB diesel does. It's the main fuel filter. Non-emptyable,
normally. But you can invert it and dump it out...

I've got a bit of nailing going on with my '83 300SD. It's got a tank of
homebrew bio D in it from the previous owner. This may have something to do
with it and may support your theory of water passing through the injector
nozzles. Many diesels do have water separators on them, and unless it'
