I was under my car, '84 300D, last weekend. I think I saw what you

this is the air uptake for the vent. I think there was also a check
valve just aft of the bell thing.

why Ma Benz says to fill the car to where the pump stops.I always
fill to where I can see the fuel,for accurate fuel mileage checks.
