E320 W210 CDI OM613 Fuel line pops off under high acceleration

[TomXR5]

Greetings,

Yesterday, while on my way to work and running a bit late, I decided to speed up. Upon reaching my workplace, one of my friends observed a substantial amount of fluid leaking from underneath the car. I raised the hood to investigate and discovered that a line running on top of the engine had become disconnected. Is there any other possible explanation for this issue aside from it being a faulty connector? Like pressure building up inside of the fuel rail.


Also, does anyone know where I could buy this part/connector or do I need to replace the hole line?

Is it the yellow connection ?

The LP fuel lines are available new from MB if I remember correctly there are three of them and yes the o rings do harden and leak

Oh, and the plastic clips will break hence buying a new line

Is it the yellow connection ?

Yep the one with the yellow plastic clip

Looks like clip is not locked position?

This^ The yellow part is currently pushed in, which is the unlocked position

Oh I see now well that weird. it did that all by itself. I pulled it back and tied it to the locked position with a Zip Tie.

Thank you
