Need help identifying pipe from fuel filter.
Hi all
I need some advice please.....
I have a fuel leak coming from somewhere close to the drivers side wheel at the rear, after filling tank past 3/4, it is a constant drip rather than a stream.
After getting up on the ramps and removing fuel pump/filter cover i noticed there was a corroded very small bore pipe that was dangling loose.
It comes from the fuel filter and has a short normal vacuum style rubber hose reducing into a very small bore metal pipe probably half the bore of a copper brake pipe, but i cant see where it has broken off from...
Can anyone advise where this pipe might go to and also if possible, the part number so i can order a new one as this one is completely shot.
The car is a 2000 CLK 230K coupe
Thanks in advance

WIS says its either fuel regulator (but i cant imagine that thin pipe running all the way to the engine bay) or the other option was breather tube, but again i dont know where that terminates at? If anyone has any facilities to be able to look at where their pipes go to, i would be very grateful, its definitely not any of the pipes that link the fuel pump to the fuel filter.

You'll have to supply a pic. There is one line coming out of tank to pump...1 line from pump to filter..1 line from back filter to front filter and 1 line out to engine. ..1 electric connection to pump...that's it (just as pic on thread shows).
just saw that you have a 230..info is for 430 and amg....not sure now about above..post pic
