I have a 1995 Mercedes E300D diesel with the OM606 engine which has a fuel leak. The leak is coming from the "quick disconnects" that connect the clear plastic fuel lines to the lift pump. These connection points apparently have o-rings that rot out and cause leaks.

1) Can I buy o-rings to replace the rotted ones or do I have to buy the whole fuel line assembly?

2) If I can buy seperate o-rings, does anybody know the part numbers?

3) Does anyone know where I can buy viton o-rings? What are the part numbers?

Thanks,

Craig

Vitron parts are often available from Biodiesel Coops. Your car's "O" rings may be affected by the new low sulfur diesel #2.

I got same car. Mine leaked last year and I simply changed every single fuel hoses there are because I was also doing my glow plugs.

As far as I know, dealer sold me the new hoses. You could possibly just get new orings but never done that.
