This video was one of the best I have seen yet about this subject. No dialogue is good; it is well-lit and very informative about the disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling of the parts. You're the man. Thank you 👍👍👍
Great resource, thanks for taking the time to make the video. What an improvement and job well done! I have my 84 380sl on stands, about to tackle this same job.
Ganda Garage, thanks so much for investing your time into these videos! I bought a family member's Euro 500sl this spring, and I'm looking forward to bringing it back to life. These videos will help!
Great video, I would never in a million years attempt to take that apart...so many parts to refit exactly right. Also, was your fuel pump making a whining noise when the car was running? If so, do you notice a difference now? Thanks for sharing.
@@GandaGarage O.K - It is German precision mechanical gasoline injection. Must use Non-Etanol gas - if possible. No problem to repair it. Nice piece of engineering.
Looks like I didn't make a video for that yet. I don't have time now, but I am planning to get back to it. For my USA 380SL, timing is straightforward; disconnect the vacuum from the advance unit and plug the hose. Set timing to TDC. Then reconnect vacuum; it should advance to 15-17 degrees at idle.
This is simply a hollow buffer between the fuel tank and the pump. I assume to avoid pump pulsation to travel back in the tank. The third line is the leak line from the fuel accumulator. As long as the accumulator is OK, it should not be leaking thus this is only a safety for in case the accumulator diaphragm fails.
Great videos. Nicely lit, in focus, and no blah blah blah. Thanks for creating this valuable resource for the community.

What a brilliant and very helpful video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very hard work, I have to do the in my 300 E 24. Thanks.
Good luck!
sehr gutes VIDEO!!!! BRAVO!!!
Danke!

Yes the pump was making a whining noise. The new one makes a more 'healthy' noise, but it is still very much noticeable when peeking under the bumper.
the one mistake MB did....fuel should go past the filter then the pump,this set up is the opposite
Fuel pump + fuel filter x 2 + fuel pressure regulator.
I think it is for old mechanical k-jetronic injection system.
Yes this is for an 1983 380SL with K-jetronic

Hi, did you ever made a video for timing and the advance you installed?

Can you tell me what is the fuel damper for? The part you've undone at 0:38. How can it be tested?
This is simply a hollow buffer between the fuel tank and the pump. I assume to avoid pump pulsation to travel back in the tank. The third line is the leak line from the fuel accumulator.

Are the parts the same for a Mercedes 500 SEL??
I have no experience with 500 SEL, thus sorry but no idea
i need a new tank
