Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / April 2005Smell of diesel fuel inside of your diesel MB
Hi, I know that regardless of the vehicle itself, the smell of diesel fuel will still be there. Is there a way to minimize the smell? Thanks, Mia J. There shouldn't be a smell of diesel fuel in the car. You probably have a fuel line leaking. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Mia J. Agreed. How would one remedy that? Mia Take the car to a mechanic to have them look underneath and follow the fuel lines to the front of the vehicle from the tank in the rear. On the old W123 cars, the rubber fuel lines were bad to get old and leak where they first exited the tank. I am sure other models probably do the same. Then examine the filter connections and fuel lines underneath the hood and replace them as needed. > How would one remedy that? > > Mia > How would one remedy that? Run the car on vegetable oil, smells better. Especially if you use perfumed oils. cp > Hi, > > I know that regardless of the vehicle itself, the smell of diesel fuel > will still be there. Is there a way to minimize the smell? Smoke cigars. I don't want to look lesbian in my new car. > I don't want to look lesbian in my new car. Trade it for an older one. Don't want to look like an old lesbian. As a new mb owner, I think you'll find the tips (and parts with instructions) at mercedessource.com useful. Either way, I know it's possible to get a benz diesel to run smoke and smell free since every diesel my dad had (2 240D's and a 300D...or maybe 2 300D's I'm not sure) ran clean and smell free. Which MB diesel are we talking about MIA? With more info, you might get some ideas where to look for leaks. I'm talking 1984 300SD. Why? Is that a bad thing? . > I don't want to look lesbian in my new car. Sorry your still in the closet! Ah, Martin Joseph ... Why must you be so 5-year-old about it ... Thanks for help, Jerry. Mia J.

Marty Hehehe...you ever watch the Daily Show? See the one with the guy who was like "I'm not homophobic, I'm homonausic" and then he started to hit on the female reporter? I don't know why this reminds me of that. This has become a waste of my time. Thank you those who were, in fact, very helpful! Tootles, Mia How about me who was both wasteful and helpful? Yes, I know, this is wasteful, it's 3:30 am and I'm working on a paper, I needed a break. Thank you for bringing up the ladies of Sapphic sensibility. . You can eliminate it completely by replacing the diesel fuel line on the top of the engine. diesel fuel line is striped. P. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Mia J. What about the thin rubber line with clamp that goes into the big circle thing in the middle? The line got disconnected and there's some exhaust smoke coming out if it. I put it back on. I'm sorry I'm so terrible ... I haven't gotten to the manual yet. When I do, you all will know :) date another girl as for the thin rubber thing going to the AIR FILTER yes putting it back onwill help. BUT why did it pop off that is a whole different story let us know if it pops off again the case, minus a few cans! yeah, the air filter ... the device that removes large particles from air entering the engine. :0) what's the exhaust line doing entering the air filter? >date another girl wouldn't you like that Mia >>date another girl >wouldn't you like that He wouldn't if he's a real w126 fan. Girl who works on her own w126? Shouldn't let that one go to the other side without a fight. maybe >>date another girl >wouldn't you like that All I meant was that Pool Man would like me to date another girl. All guys are crazy about the idea of two women together. Still, why is exaust coming into the air filter? And If I was to replace fuel lines, do I just cut them/bleed them/replace them? I found some kits on mercedessource.com - I think they're a little overpriced, but they are a kit. What do you think? Where else could you get those lines? >Girl who works on her own w126? I guess I'm the one and only like that :) Mia J. Other places to try are www.buymbparts.com, www.germanstar.net, and www.sasponline.com (I haven't bought from them but they are supposed to be part of the same network of parts suppliers as buymbparts and their prices are a little better usually). The mercedessource.com ones cost more because they are kits and come with instructions typically. The other places just sell you individual parts. >>date another girl >wouldn't you like that All I meant was that Pool Man would like me to date another girl.

It's supposed to give any as yet unburned fuel vapor in your exhaust one last chance to be consumed by the engine and put to good use. Jerry Wolfram '78 450 SL - 214K miles
