83 240d mercedes
Asked by Eddie Apr 30, 2018 at 12:46 AM about the 1983 Mercedes-Benz 240 D
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
My wife 83 240D starts fine and runs well but when
driving seems as though it is not getting enough
fuel it is taking long to accelerate and also lagging
in speed. She says that it feels like it is going to die
but it does not. Also it seems to be using more fuel
lately. I have replaced the fuel filter because it was
gross and nasty but that did not help. What could
the problem be

your car has 3 fuel filters. a little plastic one a big metal one and a strainer in the fuel tank. also check if the brakes are dragging/stuck
Thank you I have replaced one. The plastic one. I will try the other two. I will let you know how that goes, hopefully it works out. I appreciate your time.
just bear in mind that to replace the strainer in the tank is laborious.. remember to bleed the system after you change the main fuel filter
I TURN KYES BUT NO NISE NO CRANK NOTHING DOES IT HAVE RELAY
