SPINDLE OIL in a mercedes diesel engine? will it run say 50/50?

I have a chance to get a brand new 30 gallon drume of spindle oil. Will this burn in my 300D? I was thinking 50/50 with normal diesel fuel? Will it work? Problems? Thanks!!

240D has a slight wobble at 35-45 mph

I have an '81 240D and it recently started to develop a slight wobble to it at around 35mph and it goes away around 45mph. Any suggestions. Don't beleive it is a tire issue.

Towing a 240 D

I have sold my 240 D with manual transmission. The buyer wants to rent a tow dolly and tow the car about 300 miles. As long as the transmission is in neutral of course, is this ok? (Front wheels off the ground)

Remove marine bulb style hand pump?

Installed the auxillary fuel pump and it works greats. My question: I also have a marine style bulb hand pump installed, when I bypassed the stock hand primer pump last year. Should I remove it? Can it handle the pressure the auxillary pump produces? The bulb pump seems pretty plump but it's holding, no leaks. Will it eventually burst or can I just leave it alone for now? I'm planning on a 700 mile road trip next weekend and would like to wait to replace it if I can. I've ran about 150 miles since I've installed the auxillary fuel pump and no problems. Thanks, Keith

'87 300DT with coolant, oil pressure, and fuel guage malfunction

Hi: I have an '87 300DT with the 124 chassis. Has been running fine. The problem: the gauges for the coolant, oil pressure, and fuel all dropped to zero. The combination relay (part 201 821 00 47) is vibrating and making noise. Replaced the relay with the identical part with no improvement. Fuses are all good. I am about to test the sender units for the above guages. Any ideas? Thanks much, Pat
