Chris at c2 has anothr e55 that had a similar fuel leak. MB fixed it like mine n that stalled too...they then said some fuel relay had 2 b replaced...was this the problem with ur car?

It's probably your wheels! Take them off and give them to me. She should start right up!

The part of owning any car that sucks...seeing it come off a flatbed at a dealership!!!

UPDATE...they had to tear open the rear trunk liner to get to the "fuel computer module...blah...blah" and they needed to order a fuel computer relay. They said it should be done tomorrow. On a good tip...my service advisor is pretty cool (Ellis @ MB of Tampa - I'd recommend him to anyone that takes their car there)...he is mod friendly.

He even called me to let me know they had to get past my stereo upgrades to get to the fuel computer and he called me before they tore into it...I had to call the installer and have him jet over there to take things apart for them.

Let us know how it works out and Happy holidays everyone.


I have to agree, your fuel problem is definately your wheels. You need to give them to us. The car even looks sexy coming off the tow truck! lol
