hello All

Been a while since Ive been on the board. My 1995 E300D W124 leaks fuel when I first start. Been having a rough time starting it since its been in the 20's in New York. Doent seem leak as bad when it warm. Started some time ago and seems to come and go,told it may be a return line and that fuel is only leaking when its bypassing the pump.

Question: 1) I replaced fuel filter and got air in system is there a bleeder valve on this car, I had too pull injectors and bleed each one, not good

Question 2) Is there an overflow,on the return side that im missing, Cant seem to find a leak in the line so im thinking cloged filter ?

Question 3) are there filters and or connectors on the return side that could be clogged and causing an overflow condition upon startup?

Any help would be appreciated

Get a bright light and look at the fuel lines for any (even tiny) bubbles in the clear plastic lines after cranking (with failed start) and then while its running.

Note which lines have air and report back.

Anything gunky enough to have clogged your return fuel supply would have clogged the two fuell filters long ago.
