Description

Mercedes Fuel Tank Lid Removal Tool

Overview

This specialized removal tool is engineered for Mercedes-Benz fuel tank cap service on W164, W166, and W251 models. The stamped steel construction with chrome finish provides reliable engagement without marring or damaging the fuel cap's locking ring. Whether you're servicing fuel sender units, replacing damaged caps, or performing routine maintenance, this tool ensures clean, damage-free removal every time.

If your shop services multiple European brands, consider pairing this with compatible BMW fuel cap removal tools or universal fuel sender lid removal equipment to expand your service capabilities.

Why This Tool Matters

Fuel cap removal seems straightforward until damage occurs. Conventional tools slip, round off the retaining ring, or damage the cap itself—resulting in customer complaints and costly comebacks. This 22-point engagement tool distributes force evenly, preventing cam-out and ensuring smooth, damage-free operation every time. It's a small investment that protects your shop's reputation.

Stock this tool for any shop servicing Mercedes fuel systems, fuel sender replacements, or routine fuel cap service. Professional drivers and independent shops alike depend on tools that work first time, every time.
