OM606- Sanity check fuel line air leaks
OM606- Sanity check fuel line air leaks
Alan- I just realized you are the author to a post I've referred to many times regarding the Mercedes fuel system design issues... good read! I have to find away past this issue as it's been a thorn in my side to the progress of tuning my DSL-1. I get the engine starting and idling well and the next day I'm back to fighting air in the lines all over again.
You know I should have known something was up when I couldn't get the fuel supply line on the e300 to stop flowing when I removed the engine. It was the weirdest thing! I cut the line back at the firewall, well above the tank level and used a cup to catch the fuel in the line... except the fuel just kept flowing and I remember thinking... how the heck is this possible? The line is above the tank and it won't stop flowing?? I eventually just tied the feed and return lines together to contain the constant drip. German black magic?
The car never exhibited this problem that seems to be plaquing my conversion despite all new lines, seals, filter, pre-filter.
Baldur- the thought has crossed my mind
