I drive a Mercedes E320, each time I do fill my tank with gasoline, the fuel will begin to drop on the ground at the gas station, this will happen until I drive the car for some few miles and the drop will stop. Have anyone experience this or what could be responsible for this.

EFCC suppose investigate you... lol... where una dey see money buy full tank? grin sotey fuel dey pour throway grin grin


Ita normal thing for fuel.to leak out expect if the tank has over filled.

Stop buying full tank bros share the fuel with those of us wey no get money to buy reach 10ltrs... lol

You sound funny sha.. the magic behind full tank is that the fuel level doesn't go down on time compare to when you buy fuel a bit. Thank you.

You're very correct

The best way to go.abiut it is, when buying dull tank, tell.the station attendant to leave the nuzzle on the tank to be pumping fuel into the tank, they should not hold the nuzzle, just set it to pump itself.

When the tank is getting filled up pressure will trigger the nuzzle to stop onnits own. Oyinbo has designed all these things to work normally.

The more the nuzzle stops pumping it's indicates the tank is getting to its threshold , at this point maybe after 3 times, somebody has to be looking under the car for excess discharge.

Alternatively, know the capacity of your tank, understand your fuel gauge. Take for an instance,

If the cap. of your tanknis 70ltrs

And you gauge is at half tank mark, it means you're refusing 35ltrs

One third means your refueling about 53ltrs

Quarter, 18ltrs.

So you don't have to keep wasting money all.the time.

1 ltr is almost 1k

My oga nothing bad to appear rich ooo... life na packaging and na d way u package yourself people go price you

As for the tokunbo car for 5 to 6m,

For Toyota brand
I have 2004 Toyota corolla toks 6.5m
Toyota Aventis 2008: 6.8
Abd can get a few others but will be slightly above 6m.
6m will hardly get you a Toyota brand unless for a few distress sales from some importers will needs urgent 2k grin but mind you,you'll have a few things to sell.

For instance, I sold a 2013 camry i4 engine last week for 9m with only ac and head lamp.to fix, this car sells for 15/16m currently.

For German cars,
I've a peagough 406 sedan and wagon for 6.5m and 5.6m respectively.

5/6m will get you tokunbo Nissan Amera, we can manage to get a few Honda cars with 6m.

These are options and is not open for ever.
You can chat me up on WhatsApp for more

You seems to have already made up
your mind even b4 coming here to post about this. C230 mb is a good car, strong and relaible. I used the same model.but with the M217 black top kompressor i4 engine.
You will spend double on fuel considering what you currently drive but provided you can afford it, why not? Go ahead... life is short, enjoy it to the Fullest, get whatever you can afford to buy and maintain.

It's a good car

I’d suggest 5w30 or 5w40, but it’s still depends on some certain factors like ( oil grade used by previous owner, engine conditions )
For a brand probably Liquimoly

I dot have an idea of the oil grade used by previous owner. (No of the previous owner)
I used mobil3000 but it indicate oil shortage within a month of service.

I intend using high viscosity engine oil.

Resolving the issues why it’s shorting, would be a long term solution

If you're looking at something more economical than the peagout in German form my brother I won't lie to you, you'll have to wait for another life.

But from experience the C200k is more fuel efficient than my 406 wagon.
406 wagon is 2.0l
C200k is 1.8l with a compressor.

Many of us know I used the c200 for ehailing, corolla people dey envy me those days.

For the 406 wagon, I used it for about 6 months, full tank took me from lagos to Illorin and back with ac all through out

I don't know about the sedan, that should be more efficient because of its smaller cabin., I believe it should be 1.8l as well.

The point still remains, enjoy this life abeg.

If I didn't enjoy both cars now, I wouldn't be sharing this pleassurable experience now.

But, I'll pick the C200k over the peagot for a lot of reasons

Quick to pick
Faster
Easier to maintain
Availability of spare parts and mechanics
Better engineering
More advance than the peagout

nice so if I buy say a Benz c300 I don't need to install trackers and other anti theft stuff out there, and if you don't mind please elaborate, why is Benz hard to steal, is it because they can't sell it or they're security features that deter thieves.
