Fuel Filter Change
I have a SLK 320. The dealer told me the fuel filter needs to be changed. I would like to attempt this myself.
1. Does anyone know where it is located?
2. Is there a special tool that I need or would help?
I have ramps to raise the car and clamps for the fuel lines.
Thanks.

Just in front of R/H rear wheel.
Back up onto your ramps, chock front wheels
Remove black plastic cover
Filter is held in place by clamp from fuel pump.
Loosen the hose clamps. 1st one "may" squirt a little bit of fuel. Do it slowly.
Replace filter. Have 2 new clamps ready if old ones not reusable type.
