    Background: About three weeks ago I stopped to put some fuel into my car (1981 300sd om617) when I hopped back in and drove home (around the corner).

    My quest for the "right" old M-B diesel

    I can vouch from experience on the mileage of the 126. I get about 25 mpg and about 400 gallons to the tank on mine. It used to be a lil less like 21-22 range before i replaced the injectors. Since i replaced the injectors it has been running good. Albeit other problems have arisen since then.

    Finally got it done, and might i say it sounds awsome. I love it. I have noticed i have more power possibly due to clogged resinators and exhaust. SO much turbo noise i love it. And its not unbarably loud so thats a plus too.

    Filled up my Benz at the big boy pumps

    This past weekend I filled my SD with number two from the big rig pumps:hail . Its possible but you have to hold the nozzle which is ok because the fueling time is cut down because of the high volume nozzle.
