$18 on Amazon. Nice cast and machined one, not the low end stamped steel version. Never seen them at FLAPS, dealer sells them, though. Never had to buy one.

Re: [MBZ] Viton tubing for injector return lines?
Speaking of fuel lines, I changed the fuel filter on my W220 today. That in and of itself wasn't a big deal, but it was the first time I had worked with the Clik-r style hose clamps. http://kgs-ind.com/products/other/clic-r/ They're all over the car, and in anticipation of working with them, I bought one of the special pliers that are used to release and secure them. While it took me a few minutes to figure out exactly how to release them, once I got it the rest were easy. They were just as simple to secure when I was done, too. All in all it took maybe 10 minutes total to swap my fuel filter, if that. Dan POS! I'll take it off your hands if ya pay me $500. SO how much did these special pliers cost?

I am trying tyvek fuel line, then yellow stuff for lawnmowers and string trimmers, chainsaws, etc. I don't know yet if it will hold up as well as viton, but I didn't want to pay $8 freight for $3 hose from mcMaster.
