What's the advantage of Viton o-rings?  I've got about 75k miles and 4 or 5
years on dealer o-rings, no leaks yet.

If you run BioD, you need the viton.

in the central US, quite a bit of fuel has 5% BioD to boost the 
cetane, add lubricity etc.  Using a B05 blend lets the oil companies 
use crappier stuff for fuel.


At B05, it probably does not matter much, but if you start pumping 
B95 or B100, you want the viton.

FYI on MB Northlake, don't call to order parts. The website prominently
displays the phone number and doesn't state that you have to order online
to get the online price.

I had a shipping time question w.r.t. the holidays so I called to order...
they were pretty annoyed when I called later to ask for a refund of the
difference but did make good on it.

There used to be a dealer in Florida that had the same deal, deep discount
on web or email orders, but if you want to talk and order over the phone,
higher prices.

Gary is pretty good to deal with it you toss some business his way.   The 
website does an ok job and prices are standard.  For the items that are harder 
to find, Jabba does a good job finding the hard to get things.   He got me the 
NLA front disc brakes on the W140, fixed my screw up order for an exhaust, 
shipped really quick and no Trent problems

Wow, RMEuropean sells Sonax Wheel Cleaner Full Effect for $12, free

next order.

Yes, if you have more than $65 order, they turn out to be cheaper 
than crockauto by the time crockauto adds on their expensive freight.

Yeah I bought it. Haven't got it home yet. I'm certain it's just the
o-rings. I ordered a Viton o-ring kit from some random joint suggested on
one of the forums and new fuel lines and hoses from Dr. Fatty.
Next days off I'm going to take a new battery and an air compressor and try
to get it started to get it home.
