High pressure fuel pump? In the fuel tank? I don't know much about diesels. Maybe diesels don't do it that way. My impression is that most electronic noise in an automobile is generated by electical devices associated with moving devices (alternators, generators, whatever type of "coil" you have). Mercedes makes a great product. You've talked to the dealer, right?

If the CB can't recieve at all with the engine running (as opposed to clicking or poping sounds), it is possible that a digital device of some kind is interfering. CB is in the 27 MHZ range. Are you running any type of computer near the CB, computer monitor, on board computer like one of those "mapping" devices? Have you tried moving the radio (CB) to another place inside or outside the van? Tried a different power source? ANd Antenna? Try each of these one at a time and see if you can isolate a specific area around the van, than look for electronic devices nearby.

Good Luck, Jim
