Just changed out the fuel tank strainer on my 1985 300 d with over 232,000 miles. I followed the instructions on the threads that have been posted and got the job done. All i did was purchase a 46mm sockets from norther tool for about 14.00 dollars. The strainer was in bad shape and it was caked up and now i have noticed alot more pep to the car. It has a quicker take off. I also changed out the rest of the fuel filters..

check out the pictures of the old fuel strainer..

thanks again!!!
