Hello chaps.
My 2l 190e has started cutting out again. last time it did the whole (drive fine for ten minutes..... judder judder.... die....... oh, I am all OK now) routine it seemed to be water in the petrol and was cured with injector cleaner.
Now, I could be jumping to conlusions here. But it was a rather wet day yesterday, to put it mildly, and the last time the car did this it had been torrential too.
So,
If I make the assumption that water is getting in my fuel tank from the weather, where should I start to look? I presume that the breather is the hole in the bottom right hand part of the hatch for the cap. Could this be the problem?
Are there any hoses elsewhere that I should check?
Also, on occasion there has been a strong petrol smell in the car. This has only ever happened a couple of times though.
Cheers, Jim.
