Hello all,
I am having an issue(s) w/ a 1978 280SE that I think needs a exorcist more than a mechanic.... The issue of the week is that the intake manifold is full of gas...totally full...to the top... I just put a new (used) fuel distributor on it and it seems to not be leaking (the shelf under the air flow plate and the butterfly into the intake are bone dry). How else can fuel get into the manifold??
I would seriously push this car off a cliff if it didn't have sentimental value to a friend.....
Thanks!
-Matt-

I had a Jaguar where the intake manifold filled with gas and the cause was the gas could not return to the tank. In other words the return line must be blocked. The excess gas fills the manifold. On the Jag it had 2 gas tanks and a valve which was supposed let the fuel back to the tank failed so all the gas went to the other tank and when that filled up the intake manifold filled. Just guessing your return line may be blocked.
