thank you for your help! 

Jeffrey Fort says:

there is a filter in the tank, too. When mine was last changed it looked
like it had been coated with tar.

yelorsirhc says:

wrong….inline filter is primary spin on is secondary

Ian Barry says:

Great vid man, huge help!

lechonlvr2525 says:

very helpful video……I have a 1985 300dt and almost got rid of because I
was intimidated by diesel engine, cost of taking to shop just to find out
whats wrong with it. I love working on it now. I was wondering if you have
posted one on changing the belts and a way to unlock my truck, one day it
decided not to work for me….do u have to disconnect battery and relieve
gas pressure first not sure if it is needed for diesel. thanks again

pittapitta says:

I was just changing the fuel filters. My primer pump is stuck. Is there a
trick to loosen it up? I have the same engine 82 300SD. Thanks

trunkz007 says:

what are those o ring size. i want to get some

ConservativeGent says:

Try unscrewing the primer plunger by hand. Some of them are screwed down.

MrHelmut1150 says:

thanks for your knowlege

claudio davalos says:

thanks for sharing, I learn that I need to prime the new filter, my
mercedes 300d has an air leak when i turn it off it stays on than shuts up
and shakes

Austin Craig says:

thanks for making this. very helpful.

E150GT says:

Are those O rings on the bolt the same size? I have only seen one size
listed online but they look different.

Awesome video! Very helpful, simple and easy to understand. Thumbs up!!

JohnnyEldritch says:

Thanks, you just saved me a load of searching for the primer pump. Much
appreciated.

Stephen Whitley says:

thanks for this…I am about to do this tomorrow to my 1984 Turbo so this
was very helpful…I’m almost sure I can do it!!

I had an 82 300D i picked up from a girl that had just got it as a high
school graduation present and had no way to keep it up. I kept the car for
7 years and sold it for 4X what i paid for it. One of the 1st things i did
was change the canister fuel filter and replaced the in~line throwaway
filter with a Racor fuel/water separator that was originally designed for a
class 8 semi, and it kept the fuel system immaculate; never had to worry
about that one clogging up…..Pete Walls, “MBlover99)

loggableiba says:

hei, You didn’t bleed the fuel system after you’ve changed the filter. Is
that not necessary? I have a ’85 300TDT and can’t get the engine to run
smoothly. Read that the upper skrew above the main filter has to be
loosened. Then you have to pump until no air bubbles are in the diesel
coming out of the loosened skrew. Is that correct? Many thanks for an
answer!

northbeachfilms says:

thanks dude for posting this fantastic video. i am going to change my fuel
filters tomorrow and wanted to double check the process.

Pavlus says:

Very nice vid. IMO you should every time replace the bigger o-ring on the
primary fuel filter, cause its one of the most fuel leak source.

Vahid Ghafarian says:

Very nice explanation and pro recording. Thanks. I wish you could continue
with the newer models as well. Good luck, Vahid

Mark Goodin says:

I wish I had watched you earlier today. I was taking an oil filter wrench
to the primary filter and using all my might I could make it turn. But it
never came off. Now I know why. Thanks

heavymechanic2 says:

My car has a OM-603 engine and it does not have the primer pump, but it
purges the air without any problem. I watched all three videos and you do
good work!

joegolden481 says:

Thanks man….showed me just what I needed to know!! Pretty easy
job…proud of myself…lol

ghenka2000 says:

thank you very much,you helped me alot,and I saved 150 euro

click411 says:

I have a 95 E300D and I can not find the primer. I read it may be self
priming. In this case do I just fill the new fuel filter up and put it back
on and start engine?

knotfest says:

More detail would have been good, for example, when priming the new inline
filter, when do you know it’s fully primed? How do you get the spin-on
filter out? How do you pre-fill the new spin-on filter? Dumb-seeming
questions, I know, but when doing how-to, assume the view knows nothing!

Stephen Whitley says:

very helpful! I am about to buy a 1984 300D Turbo and it’s been sitting for
a while so I’m sure the filters are messed up…it’s very sluggish to
drive. we’ve replaced the spin filter but not the inline…now that I know
how easy it is I will change it. What about the filters that are near the
gas tank, the cone filters…do you know how to replace those as well? I
think there is probably gunk in the gas tank

mybruhtha says:

Perfect video, thanks for straightahead instruction and procedure. Just
bought my Benz (we have the same car!) and am enjoying working on. Thanks
again!

MrRonsof says:

thanks thanks ronny (mercedes 406 d 1971) TOP ! !

Vahid Ghafarian says:

Please let me know if mercedes E300 1999 W210 has primer pump in relation
to removing air from fuel filter? If yes please help me to find it. If not
please let me know how to remove the air. I have changed the fuel filter
and cannot turn the car on….. Thanks
