Down there you should see two smaller cylinders, (fuel pumps), and a large one which would be the fuel filter.
There was a model that had only one fuel pump but I think it was the 260e or something. Snap a picture if you can, that will remove all doubt.

Not worth the trouble, the pumps are critical to the car operating. Just get a set of new ones and then you don't have to worry about them again for 15-20 years. I replaced ALL of the components under my 420 a couple years ago, lines, pumps, filter, bracket....0 issues, and smooth and quiet. Buying a used pump on ebay means you are possibly getting another 20 year old pump with hundreds or thousands of hours of use on it.
