Most correct size sockets tend to be SO BIG that they require 3/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions to use them. Who has those in their tool box?? Even if you did, when trying to get up above the rear axle with a big clunky 3/4 ratchet to remove the screen can be an exercise in total frustration and failure.
Product Details
I have solved that problem by creating a special socket that only requires a 17 mm socket or boxed end wrench to turn it. Since removing the fuel outlet screen does not involve excessive torque the use of a smaller wrench or ratchet works just fine... and this design sure makes it a lot easier to work in the tight confines above your rear end. Please note: This does not work on 300TD wagons. Applies to all 201 chassis 1984 to 1993 and all 124 and 126 chassis from 1986. To purchase the appropriate fuel tank screen see related products below:
Can be used on both fuel tank outlet screen and fuel level sending unit.

You might be interested to know that Kent and Ari weld these sockets personally. After welding thousands of diesel valve adjusting wrenches, hundreds of these sockets and countless other special tools Kent is getting tired of welding....:-)
