My gas gauge, which I left in the "on" position, wasn't reading =
correctly on my '99 SL500, and I proceeded to overfill the tank, even =
though it says on the cover DO NOT OVERFILL...
Leaving the station after one stop, the car started hesitating and even =
died at a light. Any suggestions, anyone? I know I shouldn't have =
overfilled it. Where is the fuel filter located? The car has been =
otherwise running beautifully.
It is hesitating and the engine stopping intermittently. Has anyone had =
a similar problem?
Please help!
Sincerely,=20
