Thanks Grant! I saw some Diesel fuel transfer pumps at an auction preview
today - was thinking of one of them for gasoline. If I took the same
precautions, I'd think they would work for gas as well.

Don,
To answer your question about using the Harbor Freight pump to move
gasoline, or fuel.
I routinely use mine to pump diesel and gas at the ranch.
Obviously, you need to observe good safety while doing it with gas... with
diesel, not nearly as likely to touch off a fire, but still possible.
I've got a little battery pump that goes pretty fast. Its a stick with a hose
coming out of it. The snowmobile shop near my house had one for emptying tanks
on new machines, 5 gallons in less than a minute.I don't remember why I bought
mine but its pretty handy. I got it at the hardware store.
If you had a fleet and were going to be doing it often, get a garden pump
sprayer and cut the spray head off (or not).

Talked to people who have, and they suggest that it’s no better than a bottle.
I like my little pump.

Some years ago, I solved the problem of oil in odd places with a small
electric 12 volt pump, a length of low voltage lighting wire and battery
clamps with a switch wired in at the pump. I have used it to evacuate oil
and to refill both.
Totally makes it an easy job, and once you own one, it's

OK good advice, and it looks like a one-hander too which is good for
using the other hand to hold the magaz... er hose

I’ve used the cow inseminator pump for doing differentials for years, and it’s
always a mess despite being able to fill a differential in about
good idea. I have a little hand pump in the garage, I think I got it
for siphoning gas but I bet it would work for this too, it's like this one

I'll give it a try and if not will get one of the pumps you said

Far easier to use and much less messy than the cow inseminator. A little more
tedious, but works great and fits regular quart oil bottles as well as the tall
gear oil
Thanks, the ML manual says the transfer case for the ML should be Dexron
3 or Dexron 2E, I saw the 236 specs in some Benzworld post I think,
somewhere. VML says nothing about Dexron specs
I have some M1 ATF around I think, only needs 1.5L.
I watched this Hoovie vid about changing fluids on
Both differentials would be Mobil 1 75W-90 gear oil. I would use Mobil 1 “multi
vehicle” synthetic ATF in the transfer case. I say that because there is a big
difference in viscosity between 236.10 (original recommendation) and 236.14
(current ATF spec). It’s a difference of 7.0 for 236.14 and
I am going to change the lubes in the axle diffs on the 163 ML and 211
E, looks like MB specify for the ML (I did not look up the E, I suppose
it is the same):
Rear Axle SAE 90, 85W90
Front Axle SAE 90
I see 75W90 (Mobil1 Synth, etc.) and 80W90 and some other stuff, but no
straight 90. I
17 matches
