The AAA shop did not have tools to fix the leak on our e300d so told me
to take it somewhere that does. They did narrow it down to the IP
area. Either the tube is failed, the seals are shot or ....
We will find out Monday.

While following these lists, I notice a high number of '95 E300D
owners are
fighting fuel leak problems. I own two of them, and they both were
leaving
smelly spots on the driveway. They became hard to start, and lacked
their
normal power, sometimes totally stalling.
Last weekend, I replace all five of the clear plastic fuel lines
between the
fuel filters and FI pump on one of my '95's. Replaced the included
o-rings
and metal seals too. That made a huge difference.
I've been driving a '95 E300D since Sept 1998. Except for that stupid
shut
off valve on top of the fuel filter, never had problems with any fuel
leaks prior to recent months. I've never used BioD. So the probable
cause
is either very precisely programmed obsolesence of the fuel system
polymers,
or ULSD. Take your pick.
