EDIT:-

Fuel gauge - that'll be gunk in the sender - not related. And don't start on that yet!
Tracked them down and they appear to be right and not leaking. The supply hose a the tank isn't leaking too bad, but I'll order another one anyway.

I've new fuel filters and a diesel purge set up on order. We'll see what comes of it during and after the purge.

Just to double check, the primary filter has an arrow that should be pointing toward the IP, correct? That is the direction of flow? Also, how regarded are Fram filters? This is what the PO gave me so I used it.

Not much more I can do for now.

Thanks, all!

Yes that's the correct direction of flow.

I've not used Fram on a MB yet - but they were OK for Hondas!
