Alright...its time to tackle it.
My 260E was running so poorly due to rust in the tank its confirmed 100%. I need to have the distributor rebuilt, but first I must get the fuel system completely clean.
I don't really know anything about the fuel system backwards of the distributor, so to ensure that everything is flushed what's the best approach here?
I believe removing the fuel tank is not too difficult right? The factory manual doesn't look too bad...but what about once the tank is removed, what work should I do other than replacing the fuel filter because I DO NOT want to risk clogging a brand new distributor!! THAT would be just a waste of $$$.
Would you guys recommend I replace the pump or leave it alone? Any other fuel system components that could have gotten trashed?
I would like to get the car back up and running now that the wagon is caught up with!
Thanks
