I have an '83 300CD T. I've never run it out of fuel, (yet) mainly 'cause ever since I got it, the primer pump has not worked. (fear of running out = anal issue!) The original was old (?) style which leaked as soon as it was unscrewed. I replaced it with a spring loaded (the black handled one). It still never worked "at all". I have the MB 'CD' shop manual and have everything installed properly, but no cigar.

Any ideas or suggestions??

(I have to print pages from the CD in order to see & understand the pics, for $100 bucks+ its a poor setup, but I could'nt find actual books, but printed images are tolerable)
