in-line filter or the second one coming out of the fuel filter (to the left)
away from you as you look at it from the right side of the car ?

The merc doesn't have a electric pump, but does have a external lift pump
near the fuel filter feeding the injector pump. Make sure the return line
isn't plugged.

Well, it wasn't the fuel filters :( Apparently the BD is such an effective
cleaner that it loosened up all the residuals in the tank and lines and
they became clogged up.
The Benz is now at the MB dealer where tomorow it will be fitted with new
fuel lines and the tank emptied and flushed or replaced (only if
necessary).
The symptoms: the car started to resist it's momentum, like it was holding
back and then releasing it's acceleration and then it slowly lost power
until it came to a slow death on the side of the road.
I changed the filters and started it back up and it ran OK for about 60 Km
or so and then it didn't bother with the resisting part and went straight
to the slow death thing. I could start it but it wouldn't get it's RPM up
and died within moments indicating that there was resistance in the fuel
delivery and the engine didn't like it and died. All air had been bled out
of the system at both the primary and secondary filter inlets, so the
problem, by default, is at the other end.
Anybody know for sure if a 1983 240D has a filter in the fuel tank or if
it has an electric motor pumping the fuel?
Thanks, any input, as usual, is appreciated.
