Help!!! W210 won't start after fuel lines changed

I've never successfully bleeded a system without a full new battery. I have a set of jumper cables made from welding leads, and hook up with another running car. Or drag it with a tractor or truck while it gear and force it through.

One trick I started doing when lost in air leaks is replace fuel lines with clear tubing. A brewery supply store sells the right hose (PCV or PVC?) that will work. You can order it from summit or a racing spot, but it's the same thing for more money. It's odd how when there is a clog, it will pull air through anything at full load.

We have a new holland tractor with banjo fittings before the filter. I replaced them with a nipple type and a filter housing with larger ports. I also kept the clear lines on permanent as it is cursed by the devil with fuel problems.

When I originally had a problem I dropped the tank. I found a top to a 5 gallon gas can, a lot of dirt and sticks, and a watch. Yes, like one off someone wrist after they tried to retrieve the gas can top. Lol.
