Re: [MBZ] Teflon Tape (Update)
(fuel filter center bolt and housing) I talked to the local mechanic who has a stash of old MBZ Diesel parts in the form of about a dozen junk diesel cars in his back lot. He said he had some parts but encouraged me to try and get that stripped allen bolt out and switch the parts I had. I thought I might have to drill the top of the bolt off but I started by hammering and chiseling. I managed to get the bolt out without drilling (I never thought it would work) I then switched the housing with the one from my other engine. I started it up and no leak! I will take it for a test drive later today but I don't expect any problems. I'm glad you all talked me out of the teflon fix. I unfortunately lapse into my hack mechanic skills when I am running short of patience and/or time. Thank you all for your help John Ingram 83 240D
Re: [MBZ] Teflon Tape (Explained)
OK, yeah, I would definitely NOT use teflon on the bolt that threads into the fuel filter. That's just asking for something to get lodged somewhere it shouldn't and with the O-ring at the top, I don't think it would have any effect anyway. But you seem to already understand that. (: I guess I'm not sure what the problem is... Is it just a leaky O-ring? Can't you just get one at the auto-parts store? Or is there something wrong with the bolt itself? I never quite understood the workings of the hollow bolt, but I know my greasecar kit came with a solid replacement, so it would seem that would be another cheap option... As for the stripped bolt on the other engine that holds the housing... I'm again not exactly sure what you've got... Is the head of the bolt stripped? Meaning you just have a rounded lump of metal with nothing to get a wrench to grab on to? In that case it could be a real pain... You could try vice-grips set REAL tight, or there are other "bolt-out" tools/kits like from Sears that are made to try to grip it and get it out. The other option would be to grind it off. THat would get your assembly off. But then you'd have to get the bolt out later if you ever wanted to re-use that engine. Hopefully there would be enough left to get a grip on... If it's in some other way "stripped" I'm not sure I see how it's still holding the assembly on...

Re: [MBZ] Teflon Tape
It wasn't actually meant to blast John with a big no, more like nudge to try other options before resorting to using something not necessarily meant to seal fuel lines. So to refrase that statement I would suggest try it before you trust it in a fix. Don't make it permanent and repair the offending leak as soon as possible.

Re: [MBZ] Teflon Tape
Probably not, but teflon tape will also probably not fix the leak. Leaking fittings require replacement, they are never tapered pipe fittings. Peter
Re: [MBZ] Teflon Tape
I wouldn't recommend using teflon tape on any part of the fuel system. Just one little piece gets into the system could clog your injectors. Simple rule of thumb and safety when it concerns your fuel system, if it leaks replace the damaged part, fuel lines are made in such a way that they have self sealing connections. If its leaking no amount of doctoring up will fix it and eventually it will leak again.

Re: [MBZ] Teflon Tape
Hmm... I remember using some on some of my connections. Perhaps they weren't thread sealing, but it seems like there were two different types... I might have used it on the fittings on the greasecar solenoids or maybe the fittings into the lift pump... Anyway, I used it there and I *think* it's still there so I'd say it's ok, just be sure to not get it in where it will get sucked into the IP or an injector!
