Hello to All,
I'm trying to remove the
filter from inside the fuel tank of a 1982 Mercedes 300DS. Told that there might
be an access panel to the fuel tank, we have taken out the back seats
and the covering in the trunk to expose the fuel tank from the top and 2
sides. Having no success, we tried to unbolt and pull out the tank, but were
thwarted there as well; it wouldn't budge. Fortunately it got dark before we (my
father-in-law is my accomplice) could cause any irreparable damage.
Can anyone give us a
better plan before we disassemble the whole vehicle?
Side note: The previous
owners maintained the car very well and used a fuel additive that claims to
remove water from the system and keep the fuel system clean. After 800 miles of
BD100 I checked the prefilter to find just 2 tiny black specks visible. Is
it possible that I can forgo the ordeal of removing what my accompliss refers to
as "the sock" from the tank?
My wife loves driving the
car and having a fillup station at our house.I dread the thought of getting a
call on a cold, rainy night that "the car stopped".
I'm ready to go in and
find that darn sock if I must.
Help appreciated
Tom
