I'm glad I didn't leave it too much longer or I might of been taking the screen filter out in little pieces.

I have never dropped anything into my tank in the way of cleaners. All my purges are done straight from the can and directly in the engine bay.
Even my return is redirected into my purge setup.

It is an original Genuine part. The only difference is MB now manufacture the part out of aluminium instead of brass.

We don't run biodiesel here as it's illegal nor is it available.

And anyone who hasn't replaced this before, expect to be coated in diesel. There is no way to describe it. Nitrile gloves will protect your hands but diesel runs past these, down your arms and drips off your elbow onto your chest.
sydney... does it ever get cold there? ever use any methanol/water remover in there? I agree with whunter... aluminum does NOT like water.
I'm skeptic about any bacteria claims...
