[MBZ] Dieselers, Fuel Pressure Relief Valve Spring Adjustment

2008-10-09 Thread Rolf
I am adding this to my list of semi regular maintenance items along with
valve adj, ALDA cleaning and filter/oil changes. There was a good
discussion on mshop about this
(http://mercedesshop.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=234609 ignore the
title it is incorrect) and recommend this to anyone with a M or MW
injection pump. It takes a few minutes and can do wonders for your car.

Rolf,

That thread is a VERY tedious read, and I can't seem to find any benefit more 
than feelings expressed (eg. I feel more power, I feel better mpg, my idle 
feels smoother) (is that forum for Dems/Liberals/Progressive types?  just 
kidding...)

What is your take?

The premise seems to be that restoring fuel pressure delivered to the main fuel 
filter is beneficial, but I haven't seen any direct evidence of the benefit yet.

Seems to me that more power would be easy to measure by comparing before/after 
time for 0-60 run.
