Good evening guys.

My C 240 2002 model has been stalling and sometimes stopping whenever gas reaches half tank or less.

I had changed fuel pump twice in the last 5 weeks.

Any idea what could be the problem please?

Did you replaced the pump with new or Toks?

I once faced this same problem. I couldn't use my fuel below half tank. Toks pump solved the issue that time.

It could be the sender but tank? I very much doubt. My feeling is he didn't get a good replacement pump when he did those replacements.
Yeah sender.

Just got a c300 2010 from USA, is it advisable I raise the car a bit? I will also like to know the recommended oils for servicing brake and power steering inclusive. Do I also need to buy any stuff to mix fuel for the car?

Generally, what are the maintenance tips for the car?

Min Ground Clearance 4.5inches
Another way to increase ground clearance is to fit taller rims and tyres on your car. There are two ways you can do this. One way is boosting the tyre height by upsizing, while retaining the rims. The other is using taller rims and taller tyres

Yo. I had a similar issue with my car, which is a pretty low coupe.

I just used thicker tyres on the front, and I rarely ever scrape on anything. Don't raise ride height by messing with your suspension. Buy thicker tyres. They'll help protect those flimsy stock wheels too.

Leave the car alone. Use larger tires of you must.

I've attached pictures of full specs as well as many options which meet those specs

You can also go to weblink.carquest.com to look it up yourself

Is 2010 ACURA MDX more reliable than 2010 Benz ML350.?
Anyway that is my own reliability rating.
I have never use the MDX before.
I learnt they are complex, fast and full of many troubles.
The only issue I have with Benz ML350 is
1. Leg or Arm
2. You can’t drive it through water or flood unlike conventional Toyota and Lexus. I mean people say park your Benz during raining season otherwise you go hear am.
Anyways me Dey jejely enjoy my Tokunbo 2009 Benz ml350. I no Dey enter gallop anyhow.

Unfortunately or fortunately, yes. Car websites rank it higher than the ml350 in terms of reliability.
