If you have read very many of my manuals and instructions you already know how much I detest Silicone Gasket Sealant. I know there are places for silicone (ie bath tub caulking, etc), but it should not be used on internal combustion engines!

Fits all 124 sedan 300D 2.5 from 1990 to 1993. It is common for these mufflers to rot from the inside out. If you have excessive noise at freeway speeds it may be your rear (and possibly center muffler).

Note: This new rear muffler is left over from our old stock and we are passing savings on to you. Prices on German parts are going up almost daily. Only one left at this price.

Fuel Injector Pressure Bench Tester (designed and built by Kent Bergsma)

Diesel Injector Cleaning and Testing Procedures (manual written by Kent Bergsma

Running badly means poor performance. It happens sooner or later to EVERY diesel owner. The word "performance" is often used to describe how well a diesel engine runs once started. The principles discussed will cover all Mercedes diesels from the mid 1950s to the mid 1990s. Throughout this manual I will use this word to discuss a number of common problems. How performance is rated can mean different things to different people. In the following pages I will relate diesel performance to the following four criteria:

• How much power does it produce?
• What kind of fuel economy does it deliver?
• How smooth does the engine run?
• How much does the engine smoke?

CELEBRATE YOUR INDEPENDENCE! These 3 illustrated manuals will help you quick start the process of converting your Mercedes diesel to run on free fuel! Stop going to the pumps!

Have you been hoping some day to find the ultimate hand primer pump for your older Mercedes diesel. Well, you have found it. This is the absolute best hand primer pump I have ever seen or used. It is built with a rugged steel housing and steel pump shaft. The only part of it that is aluminum is the round handle. Better than original. It really pumps, doesn't leak, locks down tight and works great with SVO WVO fuels. Made by Monark Diesel in Germany to the highest German standards.

Our 1000 series WVO conversions are custom fabricated and fully pre- assembled. That means this unit is ready to bolt in the engine compartment of a 116, 123 and early 126 diesel right out of the box. That includes the 1977 to 1985 240D, 300D and 300CD, as well as the 300TD wagon from 1979 to 1984. It will not bolt into some late 84 and 85 models with the hydraulic suspension tank mounted behind the drivers side headlight. Also includes the 1978 to 1984 300SD only.

Its key VFM (Veg Fuel Manager) component is central to every kit we offer. You will need to read all the text that follows to fully understand what this kit will do, what it takes to install it, and how you can modify / upgrade it to operate it in cold weather. This is not like anything your average SVO conversion company sells. It is easy to build and to install, but reading is a prime requirement for understanding how it can work for you in your climate.

Be free of constantly burning out glow plugs!

Leaking fuel injector pumps have become a very common problem in the 60x. engines produced from the mid 1980's to the mid 1990's. The early 60x. group includes the four cylinder (601) engine that came in the 1984-1986 190D 2.2, the five cylinder (602) engine that came in the 190D 2.5 and 300D 2.5 from 1986 to 1993, and the 6 cylinder (603) engine installed in the 124, 126, and 140 chassis 300D / TD (1987 only), 300SDL and 350SDL from 1986 to 1993. (Later models also use the same o-rings, but my instructions may not apply.)

From the improvements (sometimes dramatic) I have seen first hand and heard second hand (from our customers, I can confidently say this is the No.1 performance upgrade for an older Mercedes diesel. Increasing fuel pressure can increase both powrer and MPG. One of the common reasons for a diesel to produce excess smoke and deliver poor fuel economy is low fuel pressure/flow to the injection pump. This can of course be caused by dirty fuel filters but it can also be caused by a worn mechanical lift pump as well as worn components inside the injection pump itself. When fuel pressure is low it can actually delay the release timing of your fuel injectors - thus causing incomplete fuel burn - leading to excess smoke and poor mileage.
