Mercedes Benz W203 Fuel Line
Hello, I have some bad news again my fuel hose from filter to the fuel pump is broken in some place could not see it properly last night.. My question is can I change it easy by my self by removing the bottom cover of the fuel filter so I can reach the whole hose and change it, or for sure I'll have to remove and the petrol tank below to have access to it? Talking about the one with number 60 going from the filter to the front..
I'm pretty sure that hose is located completely underneath the car and is accessible after removing the cover. Should be doable if you can raise the car enough to creep underneath.
Personally I'd be worried about the portion inside the engine bay as the injector rail is buried nicely in there. You'll probably need to remove the air box and possibly a few other bits to get to wherever the connecting hose connects.

Thanks for the answer again, and another fast question if its possible.. So the whole hose from back to front is just combustible hose righ? So is there any place around the hose with some hard connections or different parts its good to know because really wanted to do it by myself.. I know that the hose is broken close to the petrol filter because when I put the key on ignition and look below the car can easily hear the pressure in some close place trying to spit the hose out and of course the petrol start spilling. But not that close to reach it easily by hand and not removing the bottom cover.
No idea what the hose is made of. It could be standard size or some weird European only size (perfect example would be the vacuum lines). If in doubt, just pick one up (OEM or reputable aftermarket) at a parts distributor or the dealer. I'm sure you don't want to have to deal with a sudden fuel line problem when driving around town. Personally I would make real sure the repair is performed correctly.
Hey there, got the same issue as you. My fuelline corroded so at the end towards the filter it snapped and started leaking (between the fuel pump and the fuel filter). Wonder if u know the OEM number/name of the specific fuel line (number 60 on the picture).
I had a tiny rust hole in No 60 right where 110 ends. I bought a universal rubber fuel line and made it a little bit longer than the original to seal the hole. 60 is made of steel, to change it you must remove the tank. I know someone who cut the steel line in front of the tank and used a flexible PE (?) fuel hose above the tank to avoid removing it.
