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.

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.
