$20 for couple of sections of crappy fabric covered rubber hose...... Why dont you buy superior American fuel-line hose with internal wall fibers for about $1.39 per foot??

And while you are at it, might as well get 10-12 ft of hosing to replace ALL hose sections of fuel and return lines (except the cigar section) as long as the tank is disconnected. Just use a razor blade to make the cuts - and also replace inferior skinny & rusty MB hose clamps with superior stainless steel wider American ring clamps too.

Those old fabric covered hoses can cause insidious leaks after 20 yrs without you even knowing it. They should probably be on everybody's list of items to be replaced each 20 yrs or even sooner.

I saw this problem on my 280SEL last Summer when it seemed the engine was getting 10-12mpg. Sure enough the fabric hoses looked dry but became wet just by prodding or bending them.
