Re: [MBZ] Injector Spewing Fuel
I did this repair recently on my 300D. Removing the old lines can be a little difficult, it may help to slit them slightly with a razor knife, but don't go so deep that you scratch the nipples. Twisting may help, try to pull them straight off so nothing gets bent. Also recommended was angle-tipped needle nose pliers; I don't have any and I did the job without. The new lines just push on. Don't cut them overly long; the meter is enough to replace them all but won't leave much left over. Use the old pieces as a guide.

Re: [MBZ] Injector Spewing Fuel
Buy a meter of the cloth covered line from Rusty or your local MB dealer. This is metric tubing, so don't try and cheat with something that's not - you'll regret it. Be careful with the very last piece that plugs the last injector line. It has a little metal "slug" in it to plug the line. You don't want to lose this.
