Hi All, I 've got a good laugh for you all and a request. The other day I tryed to drive my car away from the gas station with the filler nozzle still attached, I was distracted …never mind why. Now when ever I completelty fill up my 190e it is leaking fuel out of the cap/filler area for the first few miles. I can’t see any bent areas and the cap is fine. Any ideas ? ---

yup… you goofed. the filler neck is “soft” connected to the tank. a hard yank can dislodge the gasket. you should get this repaired asap. the risk of explosion is huge. a leaking gas tank releases vapors. you DON"T smoke do you? see the importance? ---
