When I was putting the engine back in my 420 SEL last week, I noticed the lines under the driver's door were all rusted at one of the rubber supports. I took a while but I spliced all of them with new line and fittings. (It would have been MUCH simpler with the engine still out.) The fuel lines are much lower than the tank at this point and I siphoned as much as I could out through the filler. I got about half a cup when I cut the line. Probably won't be any different at the back.
