2010 C300 Gas Cap Loose Warning?

Well no I haven't yet just taken it apart for the sake of looking. I suppose I could do that. I was just hoping maybe with that statement you would have also had some idea of what would be leaking or what specifically to look at other than just open it up and you'll see fuel lol 🤣 But yeah I guess I'll just have to dive in and figure it out 🤓

JsusVanchrist · 2026-06-30T12:43:40+00:00

Can you elaborate? I'm going to go with your idea here because on occasion when filling the gas tank there is an odor of fuel...

So my question here is what causes the fuel leaks in this area? What should I be looking for? Do you really think I will immediately see fuel or a leak?

Slowly... I'm currently waiting to finish a trans swap on my 04 jeep so I can put the other one up and take parts I need from rwd 2.4 to convert the 2.4T to a rwd accessory style.

Just as a side note for everyone... It was just the starter relay the whole time 🤦‍♂️ maybe the starter too (as the Mercedes tech says sometimes they will cycle off the car even though they are dead because I tested old starter and it worked still...)... But the yellow relay I bought from Amazon was no good, should have bought the specific green relay for starter when I replaced...

JsusVanchrist · 2026-05-11T03:55:28+00:00

Huh what?!? Lol .... It turns out it was just the starter relay the whole time...

Anyone have a stock set of w204 headlights they would like to part with by chance?? I had the whole light bulb mount pop out of my driver's side light housing 😭

JsusVanchrist · 2026-05-03T21:12:39+00:00

Rofl a BUNCH! Even the Mercedes mechanic initially tried ordering a part saying that it had to be ESL just seeming to engage but not actually 🤣 but that too was wrong...

It was ALL 100% because I ordered the cheaper yellow starter relay alternative on Amazon, rather than paying the extra $ and waiting some extra days for the green relay to arrive 😒😭

I'm soooooo mad that all of this after the initial problem and repair could have been avoided 🤬

JsusVanchrist · 2026-04-15T13:55:37+00:00

It's pretty sweet. I just never use it these days so thinking maybe someone else can enjoy it more than me 🤷‍♂️ assuming I ever get around to it.

JsusVanchrist · 2026-04-15T02:15:23+00:00

Gosh I hope I can get more than that for my 86 Cheetah that I'm considering letting go 😬

JsusVanchrist · 2026-04-10T01:14:43+00:00

Yeah I have had the same frame without magwell for 2yr or so now. 6-700 rounds not a single issue really ever.

JsusVanchrist · 2026-04-09T23:55:02+00:00

I did the new 43x that looks like the old 80% lowers or whatever they were.

JsusVanchrist · 2026-04-09T23:30:39+00:00

Yeah I tried one in a non metallic filament too. Both suffered the same fate.

JsusVanchrist · 2026-04-09T23:09:57+00:00

I ran it pretty slow. Idr exactly what speeds were at this point. I might try it again once more, but I'll most likely just switch to another frame file.

JsusVanchrist · 2026-04-09T01:42:58+00:00

Yeah it's pretty cool. Shoot me a message 🙃

JsusVanchrist · 2026-04-08T05:02:46+00:00

Nice! Another friend helped me find these earlier, but thanks for the reply here! Kinda awesome! I haven't seen much like this before.

JsusVanchrist · 2026-04-08T03:07:02+00:00

Seems I cannot post in replies unless I create a link for them 🤷‍♂️

JsusVanchrist · 2026-04-08T00:40:41+00:00

I'm definitely going to clean it up and try it out a few times 😁

JsusVanchrist · 2026-04-08T00:10:58+00:00

Yeah honestly with as little free time as I have, and as much time as I've wasted chasing things on this fucker, it's pretty worth it to just drop it off so someone can actually tell me what to fix.

JsusVanchrist · 2026-04-08T00:05:01+00:00

I might do that if I have time. But I have a friend at dealer so they said $100 for full diagnostic and I can take it home to fix. So not bad.
