At last I've found a mercedes forum which addresses the questions asked !
Newly aquired '81 280 S L a good car. Air ,leather, etc. ,4 speed auto. Problem is the petrol tank won't accept the last 15 lts. unless I dribble it in. Tank was removed and opened, looks like new inside. The breather hanging under the tank is clear to suck through and can't be blowen through. Must have a one way valve futher up. Can't understand this as the filler neck is open to the tank and atmosphere when filling. Tank accepts full flow from the pumps to this point.
All suggestions and wild guesses gratefully accapted. Thanks Sean
