Need advice - we just purchased 2014 gl350 - while traveling thru Ohio my wife filled up tank at a sketchy (her term) station. Fuel filter light came on after couple hours - long story short dealership is saying tank has to be removed, lines flushed, both filters replaced - to the tune of $1900.

Does any of this make sense?

Major problem in that my wife's friend picked up the tab for the fuel but paid in cash - no receipt

Unfortunately this is a real thing and the only real fix is to flush the entire system.

You can find out if your insurance will cover it ...

$1900 ain't that bad.

Brings back bad memories for me also. My original 07 320 had similar results after filling up at a "rugged" diesel truck station in rural Florida 3 years ago. Had to replace both fuel filters twice over 2-3 month time period until all the debris was cleared, although never had to drain and flush the system.

Heed your intuition-if the station looks bad, stay away.
