This is Kent's new offering for an accurate and leak-free DIY CIS fuel pressure tester. If you have been confused as to how to even hook one up, let alone what pressures to look for - this is what you have been looking for. If a picture is worth 1000 words, what is a video worth?
Works on all models from 1977 to 1993 with the Bosch C.I.S Fuel Injection system - see models listed below: Now you can do it yourself on the bench with this inexpensive tester- Save big $$. Ever wonder how well your old CIS fuel injectors are working?
This is a critical rubber part that seals the fuel injector to the injector holder. Deterioration can result in high idle speeds and poor engine performance. Unless you have a low mileage car with soft seals, these should be changed when testing, cleaning, or replacing your fuel injectors.
There are a few factory recommend procedures and tests you should do before you do an actual pressure test on a CIS fuel-injected engine. In this 20-minute training video, Kent will walk you through these procedures step-by-step.
To do proper system testing on CIS fuel injection, you must find a way to get the fuel pump or fuel pumps to run continuously without the engine running. This can not be done by just using the ignition key. In this 15-minute training video, Kent will show the options available to do this.
In this video, you will see how the gauges are hooked up to a 560SL and how the pressures are read. The length of this 30-minute shows the detail Kent has put into filming all the critical components of doing a KE-Jetronic fuel system pressure test.
This video is specific to K- jetronic fuel-injected engines from 1976 to 1985. This includes the 350, 450, and 280 engines in the R107, W116, W123, and early W126 gas Mercedes. In this 29-minute video. Kent will show you how to hook up the gauge, run the fuel pumps, and complete the test.
After completing the pressure test on your CIS engine, you discover a problem. But how can you find out how to isolate and fix it? This is going to require some research on your part. Start by learning how the system works and how each component plays a part.
These are the plastic bushings that hold fuel injectors into the head of the late M116 and M117 engines. These get very brittle with age. If you are planning on removing your fuel injectors I highly recommend you order these to have on hand.
Kent will take you over to his workbench and completely take apart a rusty and old fuel delivery system from a 1980 450SL and put it all back together again with some shiney new paint and parts supplied in his special kit for these cars. This video runs for 24 minutes.
We know that many of you own multiple Mercedes, including both gas and diesel models. If you own one of Kent’s fuel injector pressure testers you no doubt will want to test all your applicable mechanical fuel injectors in both types of older engines.
Here is a grab bag of fittings and hoses you can buy for DIY projects. Since we don't have use for these at this time, we are offering them at a special giveaway price. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT NONE WILL work without modification on any CIS fuel-injected engine.
Most 1988 to 1993 6 cylinder CIS fuel injection delivery (FID) systems are old and tired and have not been properly maintained. These include the W201 190E 2.6, the W124 260E 300E, 300CE, 300TE, the W126 300SE, and 300SEL, and the R129 300SL.
This is a common occurrence as these gas engines with Bosch C.I.S. fuel injection age. Most of them are now at least 20 + years old. The problem goes something like this. You start the engine cold and it will hardly run. It runs rough and idles very low and will even quit a few times.
This video will help you decide if you want to try to do a fuel pressure test yourself. It is a fairly simple DIY job but will all the confusion and misinformation on the internet; one would believe it is a complicated process that is hard to understand.
In this short video, Kent will give you an overview on setting up and using Version 3 of his bench mount CIS gasoline injector pressure tester.
New Bosch fuel filter as shown. Before ordering please make certain that this fits your Benz. Not all gas fuel filters are created equal.
With these old gas fuel injectors, sometimes you just have to "back flush" the insides to restore them to peak performance. There is no guarantee that back flush cleaning will restore every old gasoline mechanical fuel injector. Some are just plain worn out.
This 24 minute on demand training video comes with our injector back flush cleaning kit. You can purchase this video separately, but please keep in mind you will not have any of the tools or supplies to complete this procedure yourself.
Must be used with our CIS fuel system pressure tester. See related products below for more information or to order. This kit will allow you to depressurize your 1970 to 1975 D-jetronic fuel rail and attach our CIS tester to the included adapter in order to test your D-jet fuel pressure.
If you acquire an older Mercedes diesel and want to test those large Bosch injectors with your V3 gasoline bench tester, you will need 4 things to complete the conversion: 3000 PSI gauge, our new capture bottle to hold the larger injectors, injector sealing kit, and Kent’s written manual and vid
We know that many of you own multiple Mercedes, including both gas and diesel models. If you own one of Kent’s fuel injector pressure testers you no doubt will want to test all your applicable mechanical fuel injectors in both types of older engines.
In this 13-minute CIS training video, Kent will walk you through the steps recommended by Mercedes Benz to fully test the operation of the EHA valve on 1984 to 1993 4, 6, and 8-cylinder engines with KE-jetronic fuel injection.
This is the critical part on KE-jetronic fuel injection to balance the fuel mixture between cold and warm starts. When it totally fails your engine may not run right at all. It took the place of the old warm-up regulator on the earlier K-jetronic fuel injection from 1976 tp 1985.
This high-quality meter can test all types of automotive electrical circuits, but Kent has discovered it is particularly well suited for testing Bosch KE jetronic fuel injection components on those CIS models from 1984 to 1993. Extra adapter fittings are included as shown.
In this 9 minute instructional video, Kent will explain how to test your fuel accumulator to determine whether or not it has failed internally. A failed accumulator will make your engine hard to start when hot.
This hose assembly was used on the fuel delivery systems in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Installed on some R107 450SL and 450SLC, W116 450SE / L and 280SE, and the W123 280E and 280CE. Be sure to check your car before ordering to make certain this hose is installed.

I have used a lot of different clamping tools over the years to prevent fluids from leaking out when removing coolant, fuel, or brake fluid hoses. Most work ok. Some are hard to use in tight places. Many do not stop every last drip from coming out of the hose.
Why change K-jet injectors when "they are working?" Why change shocks when they feel ike "they are working." The deteration is very slow over time and you may not notice the difference in how the engine starts, runs, accelerates, and delivers mileage until you do this service!
This video will be an excellent example of how to save big $$$ doing the work on your own car. If your gas engine is idling too fast in neutral it could be an expensive problem, but in many cases it is due to lack of maintenance over a long period of time.
In this 26 minute instructional video Kent will show you how to hook up a CIS fuel pressure tester to your older K-jectronic gas engine.
With this kit, you can convert your older pressure tester to all the benefits of Kent's newest version 3 "pop tester." It contains everything you need and you can do it in less than 10 minutes. 2 videos are included with purchase. One explains how to perform this simple conversion.
Too many emails on this subject pretty much forced Kent to do this almost 3 hour long video class. If you are having problem starting your old 1976 to 1993 Mercedes with Bosch C.I.S. fuel injection this is a must see.
This 25 minute video will instruct you on how to replace the fuel injectors in your 1976 to 1980 8-cylinder M117 engine safely and efficiently. This is a fairly straightforward job, but there are some pitfalls you will want to avoid.
This 33 minute video will instruct you on how to replace the fuel injectors in your 8-cylinder M116 engine safely and efficiently. This is a fairly straightforward job, but there are some pitfalls you will want to avoid.

Upgraded top seals for better and longer-lasting sealing properties and well as standard green seals for the bottom of the injector holder. With these seals you can clean and reuse your existing fuel injector holders / sleeves.
This video only applies to our injector pressure tester. Kent will show you how to attach the capture bottle and fittings to your older Version 1 or Version 2 pressure tester. Video is free with purchase of the conversion kit.
Fuel hose as shown. Connects to bottom of fuel tank and drops down to fuel damper. Make sure you do not have a 1975 or early 1976 with electronic fuel injection.
Brand new aftermarket fuel accumulator for the 1986 to 1991 V8 engines. It is mounted near the fuel filter under the back end of the car and hardly ever gets replaced. What does it do and how do you know if it is bad.
PLEASE LOOK AT YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE ORDERING to confirm the type of accumulator you have. ( Watch the last video below for examples )For systems with ONE HOLE ACCUMULATOR only. Some 450SL, 450SLC, 450SE, 450SEL with 4.5 and W116 280SE .
This is one of those severely neglected parts that seem to never get changed. This is the FIRST thing you want to look at when the engine won't start, starts and quits, or misfires on and off. This is a quality German-made aftermarket cap with Genuine Bosch Rotor.
Do not let anyone convince you to install some super platinum, iridium or kryptonite spark plug in your later model R107 SL V8. They are just not capable of handling the richer fuel mixtures associated with these older engines.
If you have been enjoying Kent's free Youtube videos but have not yet purchased and watched one of his on-demand "meat and potatoes" videos, we guarantee you are really missing something.
Replacing a distributor cap is easy right. No problem?? If it were I would not get so many emails and why the engine won't run right after changing the cap and rotor. This is a short eight and a half minute video but the tips I share could save you some big headaches.
If you are removing and replacing your M110 fuel injectors these are the seals you should have on hand. Always replace the rubber seals. I know it is possible to reuse the plastic sleeves but many times they are brittle and will be damaged upon removal.
