It is a 1995 E320 wagon, typo on my part. It was correct in the signature area and in a later post. Jim - Original Message - From: "Dave M." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 3:58 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Highway Debri

Yes, in the sedans it's in the trunk, but on the wagon it's inside the passenger side fender. Smaller, too. Peter

No, other than what is covered by the plastic pump shield, the tank is exposed. Peter

That's a big fat suckfest. On the 123s, I know the fuel tank was between the rear seat and the trunk. Was it also visible/accessible from the bottom, or was it protected? This was a wagon. The protected location of sedans (later than 115) does not apply. -- Jim

Lots of things will puncture a gas tank, could even have been something flying across a lane sideways that you didn't even seen. I'm glad the car didn't catch fire, as this is always a possibility -- a new tank is cheap in comparison. The same thing happened to my uncle some years back -- he
