Flushing Fuel Tank

[rajinder_1]

Hi
Does anyone know how you would flush the whole of the fuel tank on a 2001 SL????
As per my previous threads ive got some sort of fine sand/sludge that does not mix in with petrol in my tank and it was a full tank as well???

I will try and give some help later in the day, What ever you do, an air line must not be used any where on the system, it only forces dirty and etc into the corners, then disolves with the new fuel and will come back to haunt you.

Guys,
Tanks is being flushed!!! not removed from car but they have used around 2 gallons of clean petrol to flush out some of the crap, also will be changing fuel filter £55 from MB!!!!!! for a filter!!!!!! so they bought aftermarket £30!!!! they advised that they wont remove the tank but to replace filter after 500 miles another £30 ......
what do you think???? will it be ok???

Crap will come out better if the tank is not allowed to dry out, but they obviously did flush it out once they started the job. Sounds like a good idea to me to change the filter again after I would have said 1k.
