Diesel Motorhome???

[davidkerryedwards]

There have been a fair number of threads on the Mercedes diesel forum of people
having
seal problems and leaks as a result of ULSD. I had some leaks in my fuel lines
that may
have been correlated with a tank of ULSD. Lots of pump seals going bad on newer
models.
