Fuel line sizes for a 1976 240D (w115) along with some other ?s
I just acquired a 1976 240D, and I noticed diesel leaking from the return lines looping between the injectors. The car has sat for quite some time, so I know it will require some maintenance to get it going. I'd like to start by just replacing the fuel hoses all around. Anybody readily know the sizes I will need? I'd like to have it all on hand before I go ripping cutting and pulling. Also, is it common to have the oil cooler leak where the core attaches to the bottom tank of the oil cooler, or is there a more typical leak point that could be repaired without having to replace the whole cooler? Where is the secondary fuel filter? Thank you all in advance!

Thank you, I'll stop by Napa tomorrow to pickup some fuel-safe 3.2mm fuel hose. Now to figure out the Oil Cooler, vacuum pump and dash lights!
