The only thing I can think if, is the tank must have a pin hole in it some where from the gunk/rust...

Odd acceleration issue
Quote:
This is frigin ridiculous. Can this even be repaired? I knew I should have just swapped the strainer and not cleaned it out. I knew it. I've honestly never had such a crappy luck either a Mercedes Diesel before this car. FYI: a new tank from Mercedes is around $1000. Last edited by TheDon; 11-20-2013 at 05:05 PM. |

Steel tank? Fixable. I had that done on my '73 Chrysler back in the day. Drain and drop tank, fill with water (this step is kind of important), weld, drain and dry out, then reinstall.

OK

I know they are there, and fairly cheap. A good used tank should be fairly easy to locate, but shipping could be difficult, unless it has been cleaned. .

Tar? 20lb of black tar glued to my tank....oh and fuel lines plugged with it....and oh injectors bad oh and the injection pump too....
