| Description of the problem | I've had the smell of fuel in my e320 base model for about 2-3 months now. I didn't pay it much attention until now (3/31/2012) when i did a little research for myself and found a leak from the fuel pump to fuel line housing. I did not take pictures but the hose line connection to the pump was cracked and upon taking hose off pump housing, the housing connection snapped completely off. In the process of trying to find another fuel pump now because vehicle is disable. |
