After 10 km of testing i have opened gasoline filter which i had added and i have find many small particles in it.
So, i will look to find best resolution for filtering off board and on car also. I have add gasoline filter. But i will add another diesel filter before gasoline, because it is rougher than gasoline. And then to find filter which can be cleaned or sort of filter with housing and exchangeable part. Maybe i could use an oil filter and housing for this purpose from an W124.
I will look for WVO and hydraulic to make comparison.
Exhaust gases are not darker as before.

The correct answer:
* Filter the fluid 50 micron
* Dewater (remove water molecules from) the fluid
* Settle the fluid
* Filter the fluid 10 micron
Adding more vehicle filters = more sludge / sediment failure points.
Replacing the Mercedes factory filters with a good used
Scania or other LARGE equipment / machine filter unit could be an option for you.
