89 260e fuel filter location
I recently aquired a 1989 260e. I have never owned a Mercedes before. I want to change the fuel filter and have purchased one but cant locate it on the car. Can someone help me before I get left beside the road AGAIN.

Yup. Take care to not twist the rubber covered flex hoses. I did when I replaced the fuel filter on my 260E and it spring a dozen pinhole leaks. Cheap replacement from Fastlane.
You'll probably have to drop the whole bracket that holds the fuel pumps, filter and accumulator. The lines are pressurized and the accumulator will squirt a bunch of fuel out, so be prepared.
