New,
Sorry, I misunderstood - yes, I was talking about injector overflow lines.
I have no knowledge about the fuel lines on the later cars, but some MB have ways to get to the fuel lines - something like - remove the first aid kit and then a flap under it - then you can get to the fuel lines.

thanks bobby, i gather you are talking about the injector overflow lines? i believe this fellow means the tank to engine lines. and that she leaks under the trunk. but that he was told the tank is not bad. i gather i have to get to the top of the tank to disconnect the fuel line from the sender, or does she have a spout out her side? i vaguely remember an article where a tank was removed from an sd to facilitate a greasecar kit, does not look like a job for the faint of heart.
