Kent's procedure uses the factory recommended "drip tube method" but with a "twist." He has devised a way to get accurate and consistant IP timing results while trying to get the drip tube to drip at one drip per second exactly when it should!
Mercedes installed small fuel warmers on these engines using engine coolant to warm up the fuel just before it enters the injection pump. The idea is great - especially in cold climates, but in moderate and warmer climates it is probably not needed.
While working on the fuel injectors of a 240D this week, Kent finally decided he had had enough. After 20 years of fighting those fuel injector return hoses he decided he just had to come up with a tool to make the job easier. 2 hours later the tool was designed and the prototype made.
Any time you are removing and replacing your fuel injectors you will need to change the return hose and the heat shield crush washers. If you don’t, you will have leaking hoses and possible compression leaks at the injector nozzles.
Leaking fuel injector pumps have become a very common problem in the 60x. engines produced from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s. The early 60x.
If your fuel level gauge is not reading accurately or the needle jumps around and or your car’s low fuel warning light does not comes on, it is usually a problem with the tubular sending unit in the fuel tank.
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.
If you think CIS fuel injectors can just be ignored, think again. Sure, your gas engine will continue to start and run “ok”, but you may find that it is not producing the power it once did nor the fuel mileage it once delivered.
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?
The timing device installed in the W115, W116, W123 and early W126 with OM615, OM616, and OM617 engines from 1986 to 1985 is somewhat a mystery to many owners.
If you are new to older Mercedes diesels and have not worked on them before, this is one of the first things you want to learn. Especially if you ever run out of fuel. Without knowing how to do this you will never get the engine started again!
If you smell fuel inside your engine compartment you need to find the source of the leak and fix it IMMEDIATELY. I think we have all personally seen or seen pictures of those cars with the engine burning on the side of the road. Yes, usually caused by a fuel leak close to the engine!!!
For all MBZ diesel engines 1950 to 1999. Designed by Kent Bergsma. These are built at Mercedessource to control quality and production demands. Each one is tested here in our shop before shipping.
FITS all 116 123 Diesel and Gasoline, and 126 chassis from 1977 to 1985. Finally a socket to remove your fuel tank screen that really works. Most correct size sockets tend to be SO BIG that they require 3/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions to use them. Who has those in their tool box??
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.
Kent shares with you 3 key steps that you should consider doing to get your old fuel injected 6 and 8 cylinder engines running properly. These include:
In this 9-minute instructional video, Kent explains how to set up his injection pump cleaning and testing kit ( available separately ), and use it to clean out old fuel injection pumps of gum and grime, and then how to test them to make sure they are delivery fuel through every line.
This is the best way to determine if the expensive injection pump is going to work for old 4 AND 5-cylinder diesel engines that have not run in years. Watch the video below to understand what this kit can do.
Excellent quality zinc plated hose clamps as shown. These can be tighten with a straight blade screw driver or a 7mm socket or nut driver.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you own or are restoring a CIS fuel-injected Mercedes, a pressure tester is a must-have! This complete kit will allow you to do it yourself with complete instructions. Why buy a tester that you do not know how to hook up and may not even be accurate?
This can do amazing things for your new fuel hose installaton on your old Benz engine. Watch the video to learn more. Sold individually in approximately 6 inch lengths.
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.
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.
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.
This xx minute video will take you step by step through the process of modifying your warm up regulator so you will be able to easily make adjustments to your cold start control pressure.
Before you make this modification you should be very familiar with the function of the WUR and how its pressure adjustements affect the performance of the K-Jetronic fuel injection systems. The tools and supplies offered in this kit will allow you to modify your warm up regulator at home and it y
New Mercedes o-ring as shown. Always replace this seal when removeing and cleaning your fuel tank strainer ( screen ).

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.
We modify this wrench right here in our shop. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a video work. Watch the following for a full explanation.
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!
When “rebuilding” an old Bosch mechanical fuel injector, replacing the nozzle is usually enough get it working again at peak performance. But sometimes you will run into a fuel injector that just won't fire right nor product a correct fan spray pattern.

Did you hear these are not available? No part number anywhere? Well, as the source we went to work and made it happen. You can now purchase the correct copper sealing rings for your OM616 and OM617 injection pump delivery valves.
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.
Those old hardened and discolored plastic fuel hoses in your diesel engine compartment probably need to be replaced. When they crack and break you can dump a ton of fuel out on the road before your engine quits and leaves you stranded.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
