Hi.

I want to change the filters (air and fuel) on my 500SL, but have run into a basic problem.

The air filters are easy to locate and, "mission accomplished". But, can someone please tell me the location of the fuel filter?

I hope it's not that 3 inch long canister beside the distributor on the driver's side, mixed in with all that "plumbing". If it is, should I attempt to replace it myself? Will I need any specialized tools? Or is it something that has to be done by the professionals?

Thanks for the help and any input.

Sincerely,
Frank

The fuel filter is under the vehicle next to the fuel pump. I think its on the passanger side just in front of the right rear wheel, should have a plastic cover covering the pump and filter that will need to be removed first.
