Metal fuel lines on w124
 

I just had 2 metal fuel lines go out on both my w124 vehicles,and the funny thing is they boh blew the same wekend and they both blew the no2 line.
Does anyone know about this or seen this before?
:o

PS:Actually if youve got a no.2 (from the radiator) line please pm me.

You need to replace the clips and rubber buffers - those are what keep the metal lines from failing. Do it right, buy all new parts, about $25 total:

Nice
 

Thanks a lot for the details.

also, I'd do all the lines now, I went the cheap route at first replacing them one at a time untill I got tired of having a different line start to leak every week or two. after the third one went, I just bought all new ones. Mine started with #4 then #1, then #2.
