Does anyone know where I can get a fuel tank drain plug wrench? I have a very good W108 fuel tank that has a clogged drain plug filter that I need to remove and clean out. I also want to check of this is the problem on on of my 6.9's.

Lemme guess about 34mm size, same as fuel tank guage sender nut?

Your spark plug socket will work fine. Just use the opposite end (hex side), and get a long extension to connect inside the socket to your ratchet. A neat tool tip thats mentioned several places in this forum.

Yeah I tried that before, but it wasn't successful. That's why I'm looking for the correct tool.

I gave up looking and found a metric bolt with a 34mm hex head on it. Then I used a couple of nuts on the shaft to give me a surface to torq. Not a pretty setup, but it worked. Try to find a hardened bolt, or use a stainless one if you can.

108 tank screen plug is 22mm....7/8" is close and will work...........

If you have a plug socket with a 7/8" wrench end, then here is how we have done it years ...

I believe you can get the MB tool thru Fastlane, your local dealer, or MB Classic.

MY "factory" tool was an old 1/2 drive socket with a 22MM nut welded to it.

Took thousands of the tank strainers out with it!
