Gasoline Model Mercedes Sitting Too Long: 1975 to 1995 Benz Series Part 6 w/ Kent Bergsma

What to do with a gas model that has sat idle and not run for over three years. One to two years and you may get by with minimal work. Over three years and you will have some real fuel system challenges. Here Kent gets a 1990 W126 300SE that has not run in over 4 years. Principles will apply to all gas models built during that 20 year period.
