I have a 1993 300 SD. I go somewhere and return to my garage and park it go in the house then return to the garage a couple
of minutes later there is an odor of raw diesel fuel. After approx.
1/2 hr. to 45 min. the odor is totally gone. I have looked & felt of
all the lines ,connections, & crawled underneath but cannot find any leaks. I changed the filter also. Also I have looked while the car is idling. Does anybody have any ideas??? Thank you for any new ideas

I've had an occasional problem in the summer with overfilling. Other than that, I'm thinking of the injector lines, etc. That is normally where I see moist fuel on mine.

Raw diesel odor is not that bad of a deal though Most of us like the smell.
