Injector return line(s). You can get it from most MB places for about $12/meter.

Go to your local parts store and get 2 feet of regular fuel line. Take a piece of the return line for the correct size. Braided or not, this hose is not under pressure and does not require any special kind, just good quality fuel line.

Whatever you use, make sure it's fuel line. Vacuum tube will not work with diesel.

I looked at local auto parts...sizes get close but not exact.

Shameless plug:
I sell kits of replacement hose and spring clamps. The hose is made out of Viton and is actually a better hose than the original MB hose, IMHO.

that is precisely why if you get those they will leak after a few miles...
do yourself a favor get OEM MB line from the dealer. this is at least one item that will be well worth the trip and the extra $$$.
the new ones are grey with an orange stripe.

Definately go with the OEM lines, as long as you are not planning on running biodiesel or WVO.

If you plan on running biodiesel, blends, or WVO you will want Viton. Run some searches on this site and on www.biodiesel.infopop.cc.

3 feet of High Temperature Viton Rubber Tubing, Hard, 1/8" Id, 1/4" Od, 1/16" Wall, Black. Will fit the bill.
