Hey Strangers!!

I looked but could not find exactly what I was looking for. I know someone out here has it.

Thank you!!

I need the part number for the Bolt that goes into the fuel filter housing.

85 300SD

Unfortunately MBUSA has shut off free online access to the EPC.

Best alternatives:
- go on eBay and pick up one of the WIS/ASRA/EPC disk sets. Put it on a computer you don’t like and set it on a guest network (or just don’t put it on the internet) as there are reports these disks harbor viruses.
- call up the local dealer and talk to the parts counter. A good parts guy can find the part quickly on his copy of EPC and if they don’t have it in stock they will have it in a couple days. Bonus, join MBCA and you will get 10% off, get enough dealer parts and it will pay for itself. Dealer really not that much more expensive than online once you figure in shipping. And if you live in a state that makes you declare untaxed online purchases on your income tax return, buying local makes tax time easier.

There are still some online cats available.. go to mb-teilekatalog -dot-info for example...

Local auto wrecker with a similar car in yard.

You 85 W126 300SD should come with the stock 615 092 02 08 filter head.

It takes the 615 990 08 03 hollow bolt (24mm hex head) and two sealing o-rings for the hollow bolt.

The upper o-ring is part number 000 997 00 48 and is 2.5mm CS X 14mm ID.
The lower o-ring is part number 003 997 58 48 and is 2mm CS X 10mm ID.

I believe I have extra hollow bolts and Viton versions of the o-rings from when I made up the CAT fuel filter upgrade kits.

Send me a PM if you can't find a suitable hollow bolt...or if you'd like to get one of the kits.
