Mercedes benz 1991 300ce(RIP), now an 89 300ce
first off, bring the car to a benz mechanic to get all those vacuum tubes and such replaced, im sure thats causing quite a few problems if i had to guess. also, you can adjust your bowden cable so as to make the transmission a bit more responsive to the gas pedal

It´s always a good thing to check the basics. How old is your fuel filter, plugs, rotor, cap and leads.
Your OVP might also be bad. And the smell of fuel doesn´t sound right. Is your tank leaking or is there a leaking fuel line perhaps.. ?
-The tank is located behind your rear seat and accessed from the trunk. You must remove the panelling to see it properly.
Cheers,

lots of cars
I had a 230E here in the U.S., let me ask you something. You have a 2.3L 4cyl engine right? You should be able to get parts from a 190E for the 2.3L engine.
I think you can also get help on the 190e section since i'm sure there a lot of people with the 2.3L engine.
