Mercedes Fuel Distributor EHA Valve - Fuel Smell


I smell gas in the morning under the hood…
The first place we used to look on all vehicles equipped with Bosch KE injection is the E.H.A. valve. BTW - that stands for electro hydraulic actuator. The E.H.A. valve is located on the side of the fuel distributor.
 
First remove the air cleaner assembly. After the air cleaner assembly is removed you will be able to see the fuel distributor. The Mercedes fuel distributor is the size of a Big Mac with a bunch of steel fuel lines coming out of the top of it. On the side of the Mercedes fuel distributor you will see a small black rectangular part, held in by 2 screws, with an electrical connector. That small black rectangular piece is the E.H.A. valve. The valve leaks not the O rings behind it. The valve cannot be repaired and must be replaced.

Also make sure you check every fuel line coming to and from the Mercedes fuel distributor to make sure there are no leaks. You must be extremely careful to take precautions when working with gasoline. Check your Mercedes service manual for the proper procedures for your chassis and Mercedes engine
