A fuel question? Om617 Toyota 4Runner Swap.
I have removed the stock Toyota gas fuel pump and retained the stock Toyota gas screen in the tank. Will this reduce the fuel draw from the tank ? I did look up the stock Mercedes in tank screen and it looks like it is not as fine as the stock Toyota in tank gas screen . Cylinder one is the Mercedes Flat one is Toyota |

Don't worry. If you don't trust those screens remove them completly and use a seperate pre-filter unit. They are capable to supply diesel generators with a fuel consumption of up to 10gal per hour, so they will be good enough for a small Mercedes diesel and they are much better to access than a small screen filter in the tank.
You will find them in any size. I use a small glas screen filter made by Bosch in front of the main filter unit. You can see the inlet hole with the banjo bolt, the outlet is the left hole. Easy to observe, easy to clean. Dirt is visible any time on the screen. Thats it! The glas bowl must be mounted in a downward facing direction, of course! PS:the prefilter you can see in the picture was installed in front of a 6 cylinder 300hp Scania semi engine, so size does not matter in this case. |
A sump strainer is always necessary. A Primary filter alone won't matter if the pickup tube is clogged off by a flake of tank paint or other debris.

Not necessary, you havn't seen any other car than Mercedes, right? :w2:
If your fuel is that dirty you must live in africa, eh? |
did you get it sorted out. I used a Racor for my WVO
|
Yes I did not use a pre screen in the tank., because my tank access is just under the rear seat and it has a stock access door
