Re: [MBZ] Mystery Tank?
Makes sense, but why would they call it a tank? I'll go back and look at mine. I don't think there is any bottom part to it - the insert with the tools is one piece, not two. Anybody else?

Re: [MBZ] Mystery Tank?
Yes, Mercedes has (had?) an accessory fuel can available for all models, but 1408900111 is not it. That is to hold the tool kit. The fuel can wasn't a 140 specific part. I only have accessory info for the e-class (124,210,211) on my computer. Ah, here it is...after some searching the part # to fit the larger 140 wheel is, I believe B6 758 0045! 15 wheel, 9L (2 gal). You would also need a mounting kit for it too I think, not sure the #. For when 26.5 gal is just not enough! (Note: this was not to connect to the main tank, just a small portable metal can to fit within the wheel rim) On 5/7/2013 1:05 PM, Dan Penoff wrote: Not military - fuel?

Re: [MBZ] Mystery Tank tools?
Not sure why the call it a tank, may just be an odd translation? Perhaps tool insert holder may be more apt? Anyway the way I read that is that the tool holder insert is sold both with and without tools. For instance you may have the tools but the holder is not that flash, so you can buy just the holder. Anyway it's a bit more fancy that the old school tool roll. Hendrik who has old school roll in ze car On 08/05/13 03:18, Dan Penoff wrote: Makes sense, but why would they call it a tank?
