List members, I wanted to take a minute of your time to thank the list collectively for the kind offers of assistance which numbered over a dozen.
Most all of the advice was very useful. ---------------------------------------- With that being said, I have learned something valuable that I feel the need to pass on to those current and future list members who may be buying 80's model mercedes cars. The car I bought has a problem where the inside of fuel tank is flaking off small metal fragments. A local owned, private Mercedes shop [mechanic named Dietmar- go figure!] said this condition occurs when an older benz has been sitting up for a year plus. Dietmar highly suggested the replacement of the old tank. 300TD models have a special fuel tank that can only be bought through a mercedes dealership. $550 ea! no aftermarket fuel tanks for the wagons! Dietmar said the 300D's are easy to get new fuel tanks for however. My suggestion for future benz buyers is this, buy the old cars, but only if they have been driven daily and you are 100% sure that the car has not been sitting for months on end. --------------------------------------- the car also had a serious mold problem in the same fuel tank/ system.
