Happy New Year,
Vehicle sat for some time with little in the tank. Wanted to clean it cause I have battled algae before and since it is a PITA I figured I would try to clean the screen of what might be in there.

Besides it would remove a variable and maybe make it easier to diagnose what ever might be ailing my new to me 300D.

Butttt..... even though it is 0.50 unless the indy.. has one Im stuck. No dealer here. Guess I'll just drain tank and not clean the screen yet.

Will have it put back together in an few hours or less. Will start her up with the cleaned injectors, new filters and Injector bleed lines. Hopefully the knock will be gone.
