Fuel Level
I have been having this Intermittent problem with my fuel level in 97 E-420.
Most of the time my fuel level works fine and show me the right level on instrument cluster.
But once in the while, it goes to high and show full tank even though I had half a tank before.
So my problem is that my fuel level goes to high Intermittently.
I believe the problem is with sending unit.
Does any one know where fule level sending unit is located ?? Or the level sensor ??

Most likely the fuel sensor. I asked this question a year or so ago and who was... said it was a common problem in the W210's.
My E320 always fluctuates, showing lower than it actually is. The problem stopped but now it's back again...

Its in the fuel tank. I believe very easy to get to and replace.However it could be the gage itself. Have it properly diagnosed by a dealer before throwing parts at it

Yes, fortunately mine went under warranty. SA told me "they were all going". The replacement sender has worked flawlessly.

Mark, Thanks. I will check it out the fuel level sender today. I will try to access it from trunk.
