FUEL CONTAMINATION ALERT Owners of gasoline fuel injected Mercedes from 1976 through 1992 should be aware of fuel related issues which could be dangerous to your car's health, and to your financial health. Basically, the fuel distributor, which meters the fuel to each injector, will go bad for two reasons: 1.) Many customers are letting the cars remain idle for 6 months or more (for whatever reason) and the fuel degrades and compromises the inner diaphragm and seals. 2.) The quality of the fuel which includes a 10% blend of ethanol is not compatible for the K-Jectronic and the KE-Jetronic systems. This means that the owners of these vehicles must use an additive such as Stabil, or any comparable fuel additive, on a regular basis.
