1. Fuel device in the tank. I removed that to try and resolder all bad connections. Only problem is that i couldn't get it open and the top portion (where the connector plugs into) shows several cracks. My plans are: (A) Fix it and use it as is. (B) Find one from a pick-a-part and hope its in better condition or use it as practice (are all of these the same? I'm thinking about pulling one from a 190E, not D, E) or (C) Just get a new one from the dealership and cost me an arm and a leg?

2. I've gone ahead and disconnected all of the emissions control stuff. What do I do about the opening on the EGR valve and the by-pass valve that's slightly underneath it? Should I cover it up, or just leave it as is?


Thanks ahead of time. I'm in a rush at the moment.
