98 C280 Sport
W202 Fuel Problem
My 98 C280 acted like it ran out of gas with quarter tank. Then acted like it ran out of gas with half tank. I know the gauge is correct from how many gallons it took to fill it and using my odometer. As soon as I add a gallon or so it starts and runs perfect. Any suggestions?? I've read about the tank having two chambers and not getting gas from one side to the other. I've also heard about venting issues. I'm thinking its more of the not getting gas from one side to the other. If so, how do I fix the problem? If not, how do I fix the problem?

Please oooh please explain where this so called sender and cross over tube are located!!!!!! And what steps you took to fix the problem!!! I have a 96 c280 with almost the same described problems! I've changed pump,filter, valve job done(head rebuilt), and numerous other things. My lil beast has 195k on it and I'm pretty sure that the items you described have never been checked. Thanks
