Mercedes Fuel Tank Inspection and Service: 1975 to 1995 Benz Series Part 13 w/ Kent Bergsma

Believe it or not fuel tanks can cause problems. Especially on cars that are older than 20 years and particularly on cars that have sat idle for long periods without running. Fuel gets old, varnish builds up, screens get plugged and rust and crud forms inside the tank. In some cases it can be so bad that the fuel tank will need to be removed and boiled out or replaced with a good used one. In this video Kent will talk specifically on the importance of removing the fuel tank screen and inspecting inside the tank.
