Well on my 250 it was in the trunk, behind the right side cosmetic panel. A small plastic box with a line that headed down and out of the car cosmetically concealed a bit by the corner of the bumper. As Jim Friesen said. The other lines came (if I recall correctly) from the tank itself and maybe from the filler neck as well. One of them was off the nub on the plastic box. Must have overfilled it a bit or something but oh the trunk smelled horrible when I opened it.
I think the smell was far worse though when the fuel return valve was leaking all over. That of course only showed itself when the car was running and therefore the fuel pump dumping it out all over the place. It pooled nicely on the carb heat shields and the smell would get sucked in the intake grate.

So it is. 10% off any order to the man that helps me solve this soon. The vent line that you had bad was located where? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adrian Murphy Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2005 4:00 PM To: 'Mercedes mailing list' Subject: Re: [MBZ] Help Well my 68 250 had a bad vent line connection and so it reeked of gas in the tank and I didn't notice until it snuck into the cockpit and made me start looking. But that was really odd I thought. I wonder if I would have been arrested in California with a car so old that the fuel tank had a vent line to (gasp) the outdoor air! I think you should offer a 10% discount to the person who can guess the problem. That way everyone will give it their full attention! ;^) Adrian Murphy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rusty Cullens Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2005 2:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MBZ] Help Well, I'll be damned. I need help. My W108 1969 280SEL smells horribly of fuel in the cockpit, but there are no leaks anywhere to be found. Anybody ever experience this? Clogged air filter maybe?
