Re: [MBZ] Injector Spewing Fuel
I did this repair recently on my 300D. Removing the old lines can be a little difficult, it may help to slit them slightly with a razor knife, but don't go so deep that you scratch the nipples. Twisting may help, try to pull them straight off so nothing gets bent. Also recommended was angle-tipped needle nose pliers; I don't have any and I did the job without. The new lines just push on. Don't cut them overly long; the meter is enough to replace them all but won't leave much left over. Use the old pieces as a guide.

Re: [MBZ] Injector Spewing Fuel
Buy a meter of the cloth covered line from Rusty or your local MB dealer. This is metric tubing, so don't try and cheat with something that's not - you'll regret it. Be careful with the very last piece that plugs the last injector line. It has a little metal "slug" in it to plug the line. You don't want to lose this.

[MBZ] Injector Spewing Fuel
So.I button everything up from the A/C belt ordeal to schlep youngest daughter to get hur har did and when I get to the hair joint about 1.25 miles away I smell fuel. Don't think too much of it. When she's done, we are backing out and I see a goodly puddle 'neath the car. When I get home I look and right beneath where the fuel lines go into the injector it is wicked wet. Looks like the fuel lines. When running, you can see it seeping quickly from the short fuel line. Guess I have to replace them. How much line do I need to replace them all? Do they just push on? No clamps, right? I've never replaced any fuel lines is all these years of MB diesel ownership. What was the able-to-stand-up-to-bio brand of fuel line called?
