It's usually the smaller plastic one that's the culprit.

Fill with fuel, the screen in the tank could be clogged. Check small bent vacuum hose on top back of injection pump. Check vacuum hoses at turbo boost switch on firewall near brake booster.

Likely the pre-filter is clogged. Change that. It's called the "Secondary" filter.
If it clogs up again shortly after, you have a bacteria issue that needs to be remedied with a Biocide or tank removed and cleaned. Also, the tank screen will be dirty as well.

I had a 300D with the same issue years ago. Turned out to be the Fuel Pressure Relief/Overflow Valve (this is what holds the pressure in the Fuel Injection Pump Housing) Its located on the injection pump between the pump and the engine with a fuel line attached to it. Its a simple ball/spring valve. Disassemble and measure the spring, if it not 27 mm long then stretch it evenly until it is and reasssmbe
