Pinpointing The Source Of Mercedes-Benz Fuel Leaks

If you’re doing repair and service on ­European vehicles, there’s a good chance you’ll see several Mercedes-Benz E-Class cars in your shop. Between the 2003 and 2009 model years, more than 300,000 E-Class models were sold. They are great cars to service, but one issue we’ve seen is fuel odor/fuel leak complaints. We’re finding fuel leaks that may or may not turn on the check engine light.
