You can actually leak off enough fuel that would have covered the cost of new lines.

The other issue is if the nipples got nicked while removing the old lines.

I don't know what size they are but there is some diesel SUV that used tiny spring clips on the return lines.
I never have had issue with the Mercedes line. Just thought I’d try this stuff on a whim.

If one was weeping I’d agree that maybe a nipple was busted. Since all of them do it at various points I think it’s the line.

The tiny spring clips might be the answer. I have plenty of original MB line as well since I have a lot of these cars.
