Thinking of biteing the bullet and renewing the tank filter on the 2.0d she is a 89 car. What are all the parts I need to do the job ( think it will be a tank out job ) Thanks. Andy |

you can get at the tank filter from underneath, will need a 4 post ramp though, or a pit, take the fuel pipes off ,pull the rubber boot thing off, and a big sod off spanner to get the filter out |

This link is for a w124 but it is very similar, I did my 2.0 this way on ramps, it will give you a good idea what to expect. http://mercedes-190.co.uk/topic/6704597/1/ On my brothers 2.5d I took the tank out, I am not sure which method I would recommend. Tank out is more work but lower risk, from underneath there is always a risk that you just cant get it off and you may need to take the tank out anyway, like I did. Taking the tank out takes longer but really isn't very hard. You can easily clear and soak the old strainer but on my 190d I figured to keep it on the road the cost was worth it. I think it was about £8, although this may well have gone up by now. The 'tank out' 2.5d took me about 3 hours, mainly because I tried tank in first and gave up. The 'tank in' 2.0d was probably about 2 hours max. This is with basic tools on a drive with ramps. The 'tank out' gives you the option to swirls some fuel around and wash out any sludge or water. |

I removed the tank when I did my mates 2.5 and I'm glad I did. It allowed me to flush it out properly with petrol. The nasty sludge that came out on the first flush was shocking. |

Not sure tbh. Looks about 41mm. Kent's custom socket but he doesn't give the size. https://mercedessource.com/problems/fuel-delivery/diesel-engine-fuel-filters |

Woz - it won't be on that tight, well, mine wasn't. So an adjustable spanner/pliers will do the job. |

On the 2.5 mine was very tight, on the 2.0 I think I used a large pipe wrench. What I mean is .... I dont know the size. It is bound to be mentioned in a thread somewhere. It shouldn't be done up tight as there is a thick rubber seal but as it is fuel people tend to overdo it. |

You can save time by turning the car on to its roof. This way you don't need a pit or ramp with the added bonus you don't need to drain the tank first. |
