JCDW124..............Exactly what w124 do You have ? I ask because if You conclude that You do in fact need a new tank; I am parting out a 1994 E320 and would offer the tank from it for a fair price. If interested i can find the part number on it to insure fitment and may be willing to meet You "HalfWay" for delivery somewhere between your Palm Springs and me in Las Vegas...... Either way let me know..... Thanks .........Kevin
