Searched Pelican Parts, But Can’t Find My Part...

I’m needing the steel fuel injector lines for a 1995 E300. When I search Pelican all I can find is the line for cylinder #2. Is that the only one available? I’d like to buy a whole set, but I’d be satisfied to find cylinder #3. Any suggestions?

Make a post in the "Want to buy" section of this site. I scored a set of steel lines for a 603 for a fair price from a member here.

New

I’m looking for new lines. I’m working on the car for an older individual and they prefer new parts. I can get it through the dealership, but they will have to get it shipped from Germany and it will take nearly two weeks.

All of the lengths are the same, and my understanding is that the replacement lines come straight and they have to be bent to fit. Could be wrong.

Look up number on EPC and punch into search box.

I had to get a line for my 606, it came from Germany (about 2 wks) and was correctly formed for that cylinder.

Well thanks for educating me! I think I've heard this before but wasn't sure.

Maybe order the new line and also get a used line, install the used line to restore the car to operation while waiting for the new line to arrive?

If the dealer has to get it from Germany, it’s unlikely another vendor will have it in stock. I highly doubt there’s an aftermarket supplier for ‘95 E300 injector lines.

Dealers now have the ability to search other dealer inventories and not just the main distribution wearhouses. I'm not certain when that changed but 8 months ago they couldn't so I was told. Be nice tell the parts clerk your situation and see if he will search for you. I was just offered this service yesterday and found what I was looking for rather than wait to have it shipped from Germany.

The last time I bought a line from the dealer (a couple of years ago), it came prebent. But it didn't seal well. I ended up buying a used line from someone here.

In the past, the lines came straight and had to be bent to the application. And they were tough to bend.
