In replacing my rear breake line I also found several
leaks in the fuel lines where the rubber buffers are.
The buffers are great places for dirt and water to be
held in place to corrode these lines over time.
For the past month I've been seraching out fuel lines.
Mercedes no longer makes them. None but one
dealership in the area had any idea on how to proceed.
This morning I spoke to a tech who said I'm not
working with a lot of pressure in the lines because
the fuel pump is on the engine not the fuel tank, so I
should be able to cut out the corroded sections and
replace with fuel hose.
What is the lists collective wisdom on this? It would
be a lot easier than hunting down the correct size
line and bending to fit. And so far I've run into
dead end after dead end to finf replacement line.
The good news (OT), I replaced the steering rack
bushing on the Alfa last weekend. Now steers as
sharply as I thought it should.
