I am going to replace the canister fuel filter on my wifes 96 E300D. It looks pretty straight forward but I just wanted to make sure I am not missing anything.

DO I just unscrew the black anodized bolt in the center of the mounting housing and drop the filter? I know I should fill the new filter with diesel so that there is less to prime. I was told (I think that there is no hand primer pump like on my 1977 240 I had way back when) that it will self prime.

Is there anything else I need to know?

TIA

David
