switching lines on a W123

Kerry, do you have any experience switching the fuel lines to check for a clogged tank strainer on a 300D? I'm having similar problems as the OP (fine performance until getting to highway speeds, then the car feels fuel-starved accelerating over about 50 MPH or so). Do you mean to switch the lines under the hood where the metal lines meet the rubber ones? I tried this morning and the return ("cigar") hose wouldn't reach the metal line that carries the fuel from the tank. Should I get a length of fuel hose and temporarily replace the cigar hose?

Thanks!

Charlie
