how tight bolt on fuel filter?
just replaced the 2 fuel filters on my 1982 300d euro non-turbo...how hard should i tighten down the bolt on the big fuel filter? i don't want to turn it too hard and break...think i just have it snug...also, my manual says to rotate primer pump counter clockwise to unlock...mine just spins in both direction but does pump...this because of euro model?...thanks everyon!!

I tighten just enough to make sure the filter can't spin off. tight, then 1/4 more.
As for the pump, mine closes by pushing it down and turing it to the right. I THINK if it's up and 'open' it can allow air in or leak fuel.

If your primer pump has a black plastic knob it the new style which does not lock.
