Sorry, been busy last few days, the problem is that there is gas in the fuel filler area that will not go into the tank, Not slow flowing, none at all,. I have blown air thru all the hoses before, except for the one attached to black filler area, not sure where that goes, and now, since i have gas there, i cannot do it. Any ideas besides a match and fire?

I had a different problem with my fuel filler assembly. See this thread for details.

When I bought my car the check engine light was illuminated and the code I pulled indicated I had a small evaporative system leak. Based on the the information in the thread I linked above, I discovered Mercedes had redesigned the fuel filler assembly sometime after my car was built in September 2004. I found the redesigned part in a recycling yard and replaced it. I am wondering whether the design flaw is related to your problem.

I am not suggesting that you start throwing parts at the problem. I am recommending that you search and confirm whether that is the source.

I have attached replacement instructions if you determine that replacement is warranted.

This is out of a Haynes repair manual hopefully it will help answer your questions.
