Fuel Pressure test kit For Mercdedes W124 M103

[DREAMER NO2]

Just about to order a fuel pressure test kit . The reason is i have this idea that one fuel pump is redundant . I have been looking on Ebay,, and i can see a small kit, and one thats a lot larger with more bells and whistles . So what kit did you purchased to do the test with .I know i need an adaptor .I know what to purchase with this adaptor so no problem there . Thanks for looking .

Does it have one in the tank and one in-line one?

Mattkh My M103 2.6 has 2 fuel pumps under the rear of the car on passengers side .They are fixed to the floor, along with fillter and accumulator .

So what do i need just a basic kit or the full works .

My first reaction was to look to modify your fuel system. Why 2 pumps, why not one powerful pump to do the same job? Is that possible? Has anybody done it on this model Mercedes?

Gone down the road before .Reason is the pair of fuel pumps are fitted in to all the 260E it is for a good reson,. It stops problems with the fuel delivery no foaming or locks . I would love to get one good fuel pump -cheaper than two as long as it dose the same job. But much better for me to get two fitted .

Many thanks.
Is it possible for you to get a stethescope to the fuel pumps, one at a time, to check which one is not buzzing.

mattkh No these fuel pumps are 32 years old and need replacing by now dont you think ?.May be they will keep going know one knows .. And now there are deals in the black this or that day i could get them cheaper. But first i do need to do a pressure test .

Well i can see no one ever had to check fuel pressure on W124 .
