In that case, I guess it's working just like it should, except that my low fuel light doesn't work. I'll have to pull the sending unit and see what's up.

Yes, 70 liter tank INCLUDING an 11 liter reserve, that's 21.4 gallons. I was calling it 22 because I'm lazy. The light is supposed to come on when you have 11 liters left, apparently.

Hmmmm interesting. The only time I drive on flat ground is the carwash and the gas station. Maine is one gigantic hill so interesting.

The only reason I don't want to do that is if the strainer is clogged up causing my issues it will disperse all that debris through the tank. I'd rather just pull the strainer and clean it off.

As I said above, my gauge is screwed up so it's not a good indication of anything. I'm only getting a 17 gallon capacity, manual says it should be about 22. I doubt my lines are rusty, nothing on the...

They're not reversed in the engine bay, you can't even hook them up wrong, the return line isn't long enough to reach the supply line. I have thought about the possibility of reversal at the tank. I...

Hmmmm, I can't find anything that confirms or denies that's how the w123 tank is. I wish it wasn't a pain to pull the fuel sender, that might give a hint as to how dirty the tank is. I have jump seat...

Pelican has one so I'll just buy it from them. I really hope the strainer is all clogged up. If it's clear, I dunno what's going on.... Maybe the supply/return hoses are swapped somewhere between the...

I was just gonna put it up on the lift, pull the plug and let it rip into a 20 gallon container... I'm more concerned about getting the right sized o-ring for the screen.

Hmmm, yea. Sadly I won't be back to the lift for probably 2 weeks, so I'll try to get there as empty as possible. I'll scrounge up some 5 gallon buckets and clean them out really well to drain into....

I put new pre-filter and main filter on the car about 2000 miles ago. The pre-filter looks very clear; no debris in it at all. Once the tank was full the pre-filter filled up with fuel like normal.
