As your car is from 1976, you should have the K-Jetronic system which uses the following hose : A1234700875 . Should be around $30 from the dealer. Or from FCP Euro or Autohaus:

You will want to use the hose with fitting:

Normally we would say Mercedes only, but several here have suffered early failure of thecloth covered hose from mb.  The cohline one above I would think a better choice.

That would be 584. I replaced the pump filter accumulator and all tubing up to the hard line. I have a hose for part 584 but there's no fitting but,  the one I bought is NPT. I just wanted to be sure to get the right thing this time. Or is it easier to find the actual:"FUEL HOSE" ?





584    FUEL HOSE    001    A 11 647 015 75    -    $28.28
SEE FIG. NO.:
FUEL HOSE
Replaced by: A  123 470 08 75    -    A 11 647 023 75    -    -

Are you referring to the filter and/or the hose that goes into it?

What part on this diagram?

Can someone tell me what size/thread type I need to look to replace the fitting that screws into the bottom of the fuel tank? I bought a stainless barb but the original is not pipe thread apparently.  It looks more like a hydraulic fitting. What do I need to look for?

Thanks,

Hopefully, another SD owner will confirm. Not surprised the 6.9 had the "delay" as it was the "holy grail" of the W116 S-Class!

I'd recommend reading through these articles, it's contains a lot of information about D-Jetronic in general : https://jetronic.org/en/d-jetronic

Yes. I took the plugs "out of their holes". I used my jump box: negative cable on the body of the plug;the positive where the wire screws on. If good, the plug will instantly get hot,  glowing red on the tip.

Did you test them by taking them out of the holes and seeing if they glow? Wondering if I'm having the same issue. Thank you for updating!
