I have replaced the injector overflow hoses on my 85 300TD with some extra from my VW TDI. The old hoses were starting to weep. I've been running B100 for a few thousand miles.

The old hoses on the MB were stiff and ripped easily compared to the new hoses. I had to use a dental pick to remove the small pieces around the nosals. This job on my VW usually takes 2 minutes. On the MB it took an hour.

Is this typical on a MB?

If they're rock hard, then yeah.
