2003 e55 p0451 code
So my 03 e55 was previously doing the dang red check gas cap warning with CEL. It was throwing out a p0455 large EVAP leak code. Got a new gas cap with no luck. Changed the purge valve solenoid under the hood with no luck. Then worked my way back to the charcoal canister. I could intermittently smell gas at the right rear wheelwell. The canister looked intact. Took out the canister vent solenoid and the O ring was pretty shot. I replaced with new canister solenoid and O ring and that seemed to work. No warning or CEL for almost a month!
Until today....
Red gas cap warning and CEL came on today. Now the code is a p0451, which seems to indicate a faulty fuel pressure sensor.
Can’t seem to get any straight info on this sensor online. Where is it???? Please somebody help!

Fuel pressure sensor is located on top of the fuel filter under the driver's side rear seat. It's part of the fuel filter assembly so hope it's just a bad connection and not a bad sensor.

Thanks. But it looks like the sensor can be bought as a stand alone separate part. I was getting the same vibe as what you’re saying but why would it be sold as part that looks like it would unclip from the bracket it is in?

Any update on this one? Getting the exact same problem on my 2004 E500. Replaced the charcoal canister, shut off switch, purge valve, gas cap and getting the red fuel cap warning after about 30 to 60 minutes of driving.
