Well, Dave, it's like this:
	1) The fuel port is on the RIGHT rear of the car. :-)
	2) One DOESN'T spill Diesel on a Benz. Period.
	3) When the unthinkable DOES happen, one wipes it off. Promptly.
I can't remember there ever being any serious (or more than minor) problems
with regard to fuel spillage.
