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!

Worried about the internal condition of the fuel tank on your old 1959 to 1972 mechanical fuel-injected Mercedes? Not sure if it has rust or other contaminants inside it.

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.
Another great solution from Mercedessource!
