While I wait for those I'll look for fuel line leaks under my car. This reminds me that a steel fuel line sprang a leak a couple of years ago. I cut out a section and spliced in some fuel hose. I wonder if this isn't a potential source.

I'd replace that and the glow plugs (don't forget to ream the glow plug holes, flattened glow plug would do the trick) and if the idle quality gets better, drive on and don't worry about the compression. All these problems may have carboned the rings and pre-chambers and valve seats, and now you need to burn that off to get a valid compression test. A dose of diesel purge might also be called for. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '95 E300 '87 300TD _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
