Fuel leak into trunk 82 123

I recently parked my car on a steep hill with the passenger side downhill. When I returned to my car there was fuel leaking down the street and inside the wheel well in the trunk. I unclogged the rubber piece that lets water out of the trunk and drained the fuel out. I use biodiesel and I don't see any worn through parts. Any idea how the fuel got into the trunk, all seems normal now but I wanted to make sure there weren't any safety issues.

1977 240d Brake pedal hard no travel

I have a 1977 240d The brake pedal has gotten hard to push over the last three days. Now I cant press the pedal at all. I checked the brakes at the wheel and the all look fine. I checked the master cylinder but the fluid level looks fine. I checked the booster and there is very little vacuum on the line, Could this be the problem. Is there a certain amount of vacuum that needs to be on there. Also is there a way I can bypass the vacuum on the booster to see if this is the problem.Am I chasing my tail is there some other avenue I should look into. let me know

1980 300td wagon WVO Starting w/STC

Howdy. I'm considering installing a STC conversion to my 1980 300TD wagon, but have a few questions before I do so. When you are running on WVO with the STC 1000 and all the upgrades (Boost Pump, Heated Pathway, Heated filter), how does the engine not need to be flushed out with diesel before shutting down to have proper starting the next day.
