Re: [diesel_mercedes] replacing fuel lines on the 300sdl

 

New,

What usually goes bad are the fuel return lines.  There are five or so.  When I replaced one, enough fuel return line to do all of them was less than $10 at a MB dealer.  (Still pretty expensive for 2 1/2 feet or so of small tubing.)

Doing it is no big deal - do one at a time - remove the old one - cut a matching one from the new tubing - install - repeat.  There are no clamps to fiddle with - just slide the old tubing off and slide on the new tubing.

Other people have advised not to substitute another type of tubing - get the real thing from MB.
