Are you sure you don't have a primer pump? I thought all the MB Diesels built before 1986 had a primer pump.

I recently begn using B20 fuel, and from what others have written about how it loosens old diesel crud, it would be a good idea for me to change my filters, or at least have new ones in the trunk ready to use.
Would the inline filter happen to be the round aluminum disk shaped thing I referred to as a "dashpot thingey" in my original post (with photo of same)? It has a screw on top as you describe.
Attached is another photo showing my injection pump. There is no handpump, unless I'm totally looking in the wrong place. There is an engine driven lift pump below the injection pump, not visible in my photo, so I presume a filter change operation would involve filling the can up with fuel, as Palagi said. Then when cranking, the lift pump would do the rest.
