Emergency Plug for a Fuel Hose

You will be amazed how well this works!

I discovered this by accident when I was changing a diesel lift pump and had to find something fast to plug a leaking disconnected fuel hose. Remember anytime you are changing the pre-filter and disconnect the fuel hose coming from the tank - it WILL leak - and can leave a real mess!

Problem & Solution

Common among these chassis:

R107
W108 W109
W110 W111 W112 Sedan
W111 W112 Coupe
W113
W114
W115
W116
W123
W124
W126
W201

Unscrew one of your interior door lock knobs and shove it in the hose. This actually works better than any bolt and it is always "handy." Getting some fuel on it even gives you the chance to clean it! :-)
