Just checked with Pelican Parts order desk regarding the return line for my '95 E300D. They show a part number for the flexible hose running to the engine, but no entry at all for the return hose. While I was under the car yesterday scoping out the R&R, it appeared to me that the return line also had a threaded fitting into the tank. Pelican suggested it may be a bulk hose, i.e. without fitting, but also said nothing was shown on the MB page even indicating there was any return line at all.

If anyone has changed these hoses on their 124.131, would you please let me know if the return hose threads into the tank or if it is simply clamped onto a nipple in the bottom of the tank.
