hi. can anyone help me. i have a 1999 E300 turbodiesel. having problems with air getting into the fuel when the engine isnt running. it fills the clear pipe, tank side of the pre filter, with a bubble of air about 1 inch (25mm) or so long. ive changed all 4 clear plastic pipes and seals leading to the alloy fuel filter housing. the air comes backwards from the pre filter side towards the tank. im wondering if theres maybe an alloy or copper washer missing from the 'bolt' that holds the fuel filter to its alloy housing? ive also got an annoying rattle from the engine at 1200 rpm and below. dealer told me its the injectors or at least 1 of them. can they be repaired at home or at least not by specialists? the car has 140,000 miles on the clock
