Success! Ve have vays of making you pull ze plunger....Reporting Live from Arlington, Va. this just in :"Mistress Heather Successful in Releasing Gas Door Hatch." Donned in her finest navy blue Michelin Coveralls with matching Navy/Gray duckbill ball cap and navy blue Manolo pumps, Mistress Heather popped the hood trunk, gently folded back the gray molding and slide her hand up underneath the thingamabob and felt for the "plunger," careful not to break the infamous talons, she gently pulled back on the plunger (never ever yank) and wahlaaaaaaaaaaaaa the hatch opened. Asked how she knew to do this SINCE WE ALL KNOW SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE MANUAL YET she humbly replied :"I can't take credit for this, it was all due to the help of my fellow Benz Bretheren, who talked me thru this difficult ordeal, now if you'll excuse I've had way to much caffiene and I'm spinning like an out of control washing machine agitator." THANKS GUYS...............

It sounds like you may have a vacuum leak causing the fuel door release problem but you could try something that worked for me. On our 1995 E420 the fuel door wouldn't release because it was sticky and was binding up similar to an antenna mast that has been neglected. I used some lube that I had for the antenna and worked it into the fuel door lock pin mechanism. Just turn the key on and off a number of times to lock and unlock the door which will distribute the lube. It has worked without a hitch ever since this spring.
