The SLR uses the air conditioning to cool the fuel. When a/c has a leak (no refrigerant), you will get a fuel warning message and no cold air out of a/c. Leaking a/c pressure switch is a common issue.

The SLR uses the AC to cool the fuel system, since the air conditioning stopped working the problems are likely related. Could be an issue with the air conditioning system or a control module.

@jameskim9240 3 жыл бұрын

Ed, due to the location of the side exhausts, the fuel line gets very hot. Mercedes keeps the fuel in the line from vaporizing by incorporating the A/C to cool the fuel lines. The A/C turns on automatically when the fuel line reaches a certain temperature.This is most likely why you were unable to turn off the A/C as the car was overriding your attempts to turn off the A/C. The SLR should not be driven with a broken A/C system for this reason

@nicholasvinen 3 жыл бұрын

Fascinating! Never heard of using the air conditioner to cool fuel before. I wonder why they didn't just use a passive radiator.

@OttoTheWeim 3 жыл бұрын

If that is the cause then where was the vapor actually sourcing from to enter the cabin? If you have a constant flow of fuel in a closed line moving to the engine fuel rail and consumed how and where would it escape into the cabin if it wasn’t escaping via the trunk mounted venting system?

Ripping the corners in my tightened up honda fit with the blue 911 in front and the gray 600lt following behind me was so special. It will be a fond memory I'll hold on to forever. Just amazing that i could feel like apart of the rally for a moment in time. I can only imagine the fun you'd have actually driving a car like that.

Sooooo what was the issue with the Gas fumes in the SLR? This reminds me of the Treasure hunt rallies I used to help organise in my Teens and early 20's, 700 to 800 Km's with Girlfriends navigating over a weekend solving destinations from clues with CB's and Maps with the occasional "Fox Hunt" (Radio direction finder) lunch stop for further instruction all at "Road legal" speeds. My car looked like a porcupine with CB aerials and all sorts of gadgets mounted inside and we had a blast even without all the modern GPS and Mapping tech with lots of laughs and stories to relate afterwards and in the mid 1980's it was a heck of a way to spend a long weekend.

@johnantonopoulous6381 3 жыл бұрын

The reason the ac was running constantly is because a probably has a fuel cooling system where the cold ac charge goes to a canister that has fuel return line running in the middle of it to cool the fuel on the way back to the tank. it sound like you have a fuel leak most likely on the return side and it was not cooling the way the computer expected.

I have a red 2005 Chevy Cavalier with a 2.2 Ecotech and she doesn't have any of those problems. 150,000 and she runs like a top, cold AC and 30 MPG. Perhaps you can find one of your own. If it not exotic enough for your tastes maybe you can screw one of those ironing boards on the trunk lid. I guess the guys call them spoilers but they remind me of ironing boards. I couldn't stand having cars that constantly break down. They are pretty though.
