Are there any pictures? What tool do I need? Perhaps an "idiots guide to removing the Alda" ? "reporting back" I can handle.
Thanks for the reply.

Thank you. This is helpful. Any comment on the W210 trans service?
Aqua: Thank you for the comment, I will update the first post as I forgot to mention that in my quest to eliminate possible air issues, I by-passed the fuel t-stat. My plan is to reconnect it (with new o-ring) once I have this issue licked.
Update: In tank screen reinstalled. I tried to view inside the tank from the opening, but the small hole doesn't afford much of a view. I am concerned if there is perhaps a pick up issue. (?). I filled the tank this evening, so if all is grand and once it reaches 1/2 full and below, issues return, I will suspect something else in tank.
New fuel filters installed.
I am able to get decent acceleration, and even see mild black smoke in my mirror. Typically I would experience power loss after 30-40 minutes on the highway and at full throttle see no black smoke from the exhaust. I was only able to get about 20 minutes highway driving in this evening. Tomorrow will see a longer drive.
