Re: [MBZ] Oil filler cap gasket
I also like the Genuine Mercedes metal fuel tank caps that are easier to open, although they have recently doubled in price to $30++ http://www.autohausaz.com/search/product.aspx?sid=pjze2bm50sf1rt45hrr31d45&makeid=800016@Mercedes&modelid=1194320@300TDT&year=1983&cid=fuel@fuel&gid=5900@Fuel/Gas Cap On Mon, Jan 8, 2018 at 2:22 PM, Craig via Mercedes wrote: > On Sat, 6 Jan 2018 22:34:12 -0600 "Kaleb C.

I'm having troubles with a leaking fuel tank filler cap on our '90 E300D/2.5 Turbo. Would one of these help with that, too?

Re: [MBZ] Oil filler cap gasket
Yeah, I think this came up when I had the 300D. Good gas cap, leaky valve cover filler cap.

Re: [MBZ] Oil filler cap gasket
Dan, the peach parts thread I was thinking of agrees with you - the blue gas cap seal is a viable replacement. http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/diesel-discussion/374871-why-oil-caps-always-seem-leak.html If the replacement seal doesn't fix it, the thread above and this thread with pix explain why: http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w123-e-ce-d-cd-td/2544089-steel-oil-cap-dissection.html Another rubber seal inside the cap is probably rock hard and no longer sealing. Solution: get a new oil cap, probably only plastic caps are available. - Max Charleston SC On Mon, Jan 8, 2018 at 9:47 AM, Dan--- via Mercedes wrote: > For some reason I recall the old gas caps with the wide blue seal also > worked as valve cover oil filler caps, too. > > The seal was a service part as well. > > ___ http://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
Re: [MBZ] Oil filler cap gasket
For some reason I recall the old gas caps with the wide blue seal also worked as valve cover oil filler caps, too. The seal was a service part as well. -D > On Jan 7, 2018, at 12:11 AM, clay monroe via Mercedes > wrote: > > thank you.

Re: [MBZ] Oil filler cap gasket
I read on peach parts about a dissect of a metal 123 cap, and ( probably all of them) have a breather valve built into the cap, with more rubber inside that dries out and dies. Once they start to leak, if the new gasket didn't fix it, you need a new cap. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On January 7, 2018 12:11:23 AM EST, clay monroe via Mercedes wrote: >thank you.
