Seriously, in the later 108s and 109s as part of the technology to deal wit=

cutting edge emissions regulations, MB created a trunk mounted fuel vapor
recovery system which consisted of a charcoal canister connected to the gas
tank vest by plastic lines. These lines and perhaps the canister itself
typically became brittle and cracked with age. I suggest you investigate
behind the trunk side panels. If this is allowed to continue, the gas fumes
can become so concentrated that they can dissolve the tarry sound insulatio=
n
material on the trunk floor, creating a nasty congealed mass of rubber
bonded to "asphalt". Ask me how I know all this...
