Can i use anti-humidity in my petrol? Please help!
I have a MB 230 TE, 123, 1985, and have started having problems with my belowed car starting:
It fires at first stroke, then dies. And then have to continue for about 45 minutes, before it finally starts again (if the battery holds out this long). A little pause, and tthen a new round, a little pause, and so on, until it finally starts for full again...
I have a feeling this is beacuse I have started using anti-humidity in my gasoline. (Very cold weather sometimes in Norway, where I live). But then somebody told me that this was not good for a car with this kind of fuel and ignition system.
And now I wonder...
I appreciate an answer, thanks!

I would never use those "wonder additives" to any of the car fluids. The cars are made for regular gas, oil, water .....
The problem you describe sounds more like a fuel pressure issue, in case all the electric components are okay. To find out you need to see a mechanic, since measuring fuel pressure requires specific tools and instruments.
