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.
Also will work on (some but not all) 1976 to 1980 280SE, 280SEL, 280SL and 280E. Brand new aftermarket fuel accumulator for the 1976 to 1985 V8 engines. It is mounted near the fuel filter under the back end of the car and hardly ever gets replaced.
The fuel accumulator maintains the pressure in the fuel system for a certain time after the engine has been switched off. When the engine is running it serves to deaden the noise of the electric fuel pump.
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.
This is our most complete FID kit yet. Kent wanted to make sure you would have all the parts you need including hardware.
This kit will give you everything you need to fix the leaking or aged Tee hose between the fuel damper and the fuel accumulator on most 1977 to 1980 fuel delivery systems. Watch the video below to learn why this is needed.
There are two gas filled accumulators of this style under the rear of the 1979 to 1991 123 300TD wagons, 201 190E 16v and 126 560SEL sedan and 560SEC coupes with self leveling rear suspension ( SLS ).
In this video Kent will walk you through the procedure of removing the old accumulators and installing new ones in a W123 300TD wagon. It is a very straightforward job that only takes a couple hours. You will need to raise the car and safely support it on jack stands.
This accumulator was unique in the mid to late 1970s. It was used on all 6.9s but only some 450 V8 models. That is why you MUST know which type you have BEFORE ordering. You can clearly see the two threaded holes coming into the front of the accumulator housing.
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 .
In this 13-minute video instruction Kent will show you how to make your own accumulator tee hose connection either using parts from. our kit ( see below) or parts you purchase yourself. This video is included free with the purchase of our kit.
It was difficult to find a filter to fit the correct size outlet hose. Install this steel 10-micron filter in your fuel tank outlet hose to protect your fuel pump. Clamps are provided along with a pull to plug the fuel hose temporarily to reduce fuel spills.
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.
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 deluxe kit includes three products related to the rear-end fuel delivery system for the models mentioned. This is critical if you want to get one of these old V8 engines running properly, especially if it has not been running for a long time.
Brand new high quality accumulator set for self leveling suspension SLS. If you suddenly have a harsh abrupt ride then this is usually the culprit. Two per car and should be replaced in pairs.
All 380SL, 380SE, and 380SEL owners take note. Even if you acquire a nice 380 like Kent's Cherry you are going to need some or all of these components ( unless of course it was recently done by a competent mechanic ).
Fits all 380SL and 380SLC from 1981 to 1985. This flexible fuel hose connects the outlet of the fuel filter to the metal hard fuel line going from the rear of the 380SL to the engine compartment. This hose is hard to install and hard to inspect.
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.
PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING: The plastic injector holders are no longer availabe. The video instructions will show we include them in the kit so PLEASE disregard. You will have to use your old holders and install the new green seals we include.
As a safety preventative measure, replace this hose if it shows signs of hardening or cracking. This hose is under 90 psi; if it cracks and spews fuel, you can have an instant engine fire.
DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY METAL FACTORY HARD LINES!!! What you SEE in the picture is exactly what you will receive. Many of these particular big V8 models are now becoming true collector cars and going up in value at a steady rate.
Trying to fix a rough or bouncy ride in your SLS Mercedes? Not sure what is causing the problem? Maybe you have heard that it might be the accumulators.
This is what you need as the final touch to get your later 450 engine to run smoothly. New Distributor cap, Bosch or Bremi rotor, and new Bremi wires. If you need spark plugs as well please order separately. See related products below
For many years, we were receiving frantic requests from customers asking for help with removing the fuel tank filter screen from their 1971 to 1989 350SL, 450SL, 380SL, 500SL, or 560SL (the same issue also applies to all SLC coupes). Until recently, we did not have a solution other than to tell
In this 46 minute very detailed step-by-step video instruction, Kent will show you how to remove the fuel delivery system from your 1986 to 1991 420SEL, 300SE, 300SEL, 560SEL, 560SL, and 560SEC, take it over to your bench and take it all apart, install new pumps, filter, accumulator, and hoses, t
