C280 fuel line

Hi, my c280 is pouring fuel out of a split pipe located bolted to the underside of the boot well , one of the pipes leads to the fuel filter. Do I have to remove the tank to acess it?? It's a ***** to get to.

I'm thinking you are talking about the filler pipe hose that is visible right under the filler neck inside the wheel well?, that has a tendency to crack, very common. It's a quick fix, around 15 mins, if that. It's been covered should come up in a search.

Thanks

than you phil, but i think that we arent talking about the same thing here. Il try to be a bit clearer in my description: there are two pipes located on the underside of the car boot/trunk, which run left to right along, and above the line of the wishbone, and are held up by a plastic 10mm nut. The pipes enter and leave the larger fuel filter, one feed one return,one plastic one metal. i am not sure as how to acess them without removing the suspension,drive shafts and wishbone. Il try take a photo, but i cant ven get my fingers in - let alone a camera!, is it me or do mercedes like to overcomplicate what should be a very simple job?, thanks once again

Concerning the wheels... they both won't fit. The center hole of Audi wheels is smaller.
