Fuel/Water Separator....I SEARCHED!!
Anyone know of a reasonably priced fuel/water separator for a 123? It's an '83 240D to be specific. I would like to get one that has the clear bowl at the bottom and a drain cock. The Racor and Goldenrod filters are just too overpriced IMHO. I spent a couple hours going over threads and found one member who said the Napa 4348 is reasonably priced but Napa tells me they sell only the filter and not the housing.
Maybe someone has a used separator for sale? I'll also post that question under wanted to buy. Thanks for any help. Cheers, Bill

You seek the FM100
I have one. Easy to install, and under $70 at the time I bought it.
FM100 pre-filter upgrade: easy install, adds water seperation, inexpensive...

I suggest you call, and say you're looking for a Stanadyne FM-100 with the water bowl option. There are multiple part numbers and filter sizes available. It comes with one filter as part of the package. Don't get a filter that's too big. I ordered a 31873 filter, and it's too tall with the water bowl attached. You want the next size down.

Should I junkyard for that, or is there a place on the Internet that'll sell em? Looks pretty good.
Is there a real benefit to adding one of these filters to the stock MB system? Could I completely replace the stock filter with an aftermarket one that's easier to change?

ForcedInduction.....Does this filter have the drain cock at the bottom?
Is the bottom clear so you can tell whats in there or do you just drain it off periodically? Ideally I would like one that has the clear bowl. How do you prime it? And you must've found this at the junkyard, correct? Thanks.Looks like a good setup. Cheers, Bill

Thanks Forced. I'll try our local bandit junkyard guy. Only one junkyard in my area and they are such crooks. Every time I go over there to get something I always find stuff I can pocket 'cause I know they're going to over charge me for the part I want. Doubt I'll find what I need there. They have mainly cars at that junk yard.
Cheers, Bill

Next closest junk yard is about a 50 mile or better drive one way so I usually go there just so I don't have to deal with Mr.Jerk.....better deals too IF you can find a 123. No trucks there though.... Cheers, Bill
