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.

Fits the Following: All 107,116,123,201,124 and 126 Chassis from 1973-1991.
