201 124 Late 126 Chassis Fuel Tank Outlet Screen Removal Socket

Finally a socket to remove your fuel tank screen that really works. Most correct size sockets tend to be SO BIG that they require 3/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions to use them. Who has those in their tool box?? Even if you did, when trying to get up above the rear axle with a big clunky 3/4 ratchet to remove the screen can be an exercise in total frustration and failure.

I have solved that problem by creating a special socket that only requires a 17 mm socket or boxed end wrench to turn it. Since removing the fuel outlet screen does not involve excessive torque the use of a smaller wrench or ratchet works just fine... and this design sure makes it a lot easier to work in the tight confines above your rear end. Please note: This does not work on 300TD wagons. Applies to all 201 chassis 1984 to 1993 and all 124 and 126 chassis from 1986.

Can be used on both fuel tank outlet screen and fuel level sending unitAs an added bonus this socket also works for removing your fuel tank sending unit.
