Well, it wasn't the fuel filters :( Apparently the BD is such an effective cleaner that it loosened up all the residuals in the tank and lines and they became clogged up. The Benz is now at the MB dealer where tomorow it will be fitted with new fuel lines and the tank emptied and flushed or replaced (only if necessary). The symptoms: the car started to resist it's momentum, like it was holding back and then releasing it's acceleration and then it slowly lost power until it came to a slow death on the side of the road. I changed the filters and started it back up and it ran OK for about 60 Km or so and then it didn't bother with the resisting part and went straight to the slow death thing. I could start it but it wouldn't get it's RPM up and died within moments indicating that there was resistance in the fuel delivery and the engine didn't like it and died. All air had been bled out of the system at both the primary and secondary filter inlets, so the problem, by default, is at the other end. Anybody know for sure if a 1983 240D has a filter in the fuel tank or if it has an electric motor pumping the fuel?
Thanks, any input, as usual, is appreciated.
