RE: Interior Gas fumes 1988 190E
Well...where is the carbon canister?
but, I think I may have figured it out...I have been letting my sister-in-law drive it for a week...she is the one who discovered the smell. When she dropped it off..I looked in the trunk and saw some gas stains on the filler neck inside....thought that was wierd...so...when I looked in the fuel door...the cap was not "locked" twisted, just setting in the tube....Then I saw a LARGE fuel stain on the rear quarter pannel....I think this is a case of filling the tank then forgetting to put the cap back on....went around a turn and the load splashed out....then ran down filler tube inside of trunk....but she has my keys in Florida right now...so I am stuck till Sunday!!

check the EHA valve, its under the air filter cover, on the back of the fuel injection manifold. Its black and about the size of a cell phone. it leaks in the back through tiny weep holes, and it cannot be repaired. costs about 200 dollars if this is the culprit.
