Title: cracked fuel reseviour
Post by: natenate on March 14, 2015, 08:49:45

Hi
I've noticed a crack on my ATE fuel reservoir for my 1967 230sl. I've contacted Mercedes and they told me that they have stopped doing that part. Does anyone know where I could get one? Used or after market. Or has anyone ever had that problem and fixed it? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Are you talking about your brake fluid reservoir?

If brake fluid reservoir, easy to find from many vendors.
Bud's Benz sells one for 71$

ATE seems to indicate a brake fluid reservoir. If you've been filling it with fuel, you may have other issues to worry about. If a typo, as suggested by others, you can find quality aftermarket items.
