Problems with gas
Hello to everybody!
I´m having problems with my 98 230 SLK, when I don´t use it for 2 weeks or so, when I start the engine, the car spills gasoline by the "carbon filter"?, for a couple of minutes. Then it stops leaking and the car runs perfect, no leakage at all, even if I go to the gas station and fill it up, it doesn´t spill anymore. If I use my car everyday it doesn´t happen anymore.
The guy in the shop told me that it could be that gasoline in the tank after a couple of weeks not using the car creates lots of gases, so when starting up the gasoline bomb creates a lot of pressure and gases have to scape someway amd that´s why it spills gasoline.
Has anybody had this problem before? Thank you all and sorry for my bad english.
