Broke 2nd Metal Fuel Inj Line in 2 weeks...OM603
Sheesh, this is getting OLD! #4 injector line snapped at injector 2 weeks ago. Got replacement (hard to find!) and now the #5 line let go at the IP. WTF?? Do these things just get old and break, or did I tweak it messing with intake when I RR the glows...
BEEEEE CAREFUL with those old metal lines, apparently they are not very durable. #5 and #6 (for sake of caution) lines on order from dealer now. Back to paying OPEC until they come in If anyone knows of somewhere to buy these metal lines, or convert to something more durable Im all ears (err..eyes)

I went though the same thing, when the 2nd one went, I just replaced the rest of them all together. This is why I always reccommend doing them all at once, even though theyre a bit expensive.

Just saw a 603 set on ebay tonight. Make sure you have ALL the clamps and brackets on the lines or they will break from vibration,the position of the clamps and brackets can be critical on some engines too. I like to loosen all the line nuts at both ends then position and tighten the clamps and brackets then tighten the line nuts,but thats just me. Don

got a link from ebay? searched and didnt find..
Anyone have a pic of the clamps, where they go, how many, do they bolt to intake or do they just hold lines? Most of mine are missing. Probably the reason for all this

Tried that ...
No fuel lines in world. Germany making more. 2 months.
I need a fix here. Can I make my own fuel lines?

Thanks Sixto! I visited The Benz Store today (if you live in Atlanta and own an older benz, this is Mecca). Ken set me up with 5 and 6 lines, thenm let me go to town on a pulled OM603 to get all the bracketry.
Hooked it all up tonight and its running well again, although I still need some new clips.

Get new clips and brackets, pulling the old stuff is usually brittle and breaks.
Dont forget the rubber shims too! My #5 failed a while back, and when I went in there to put the new one in, I put all new brackets and rubber shims in, keep the shakes to a minimum.
