Just a note of interest. I got the idea of pouring the fuel from the old filter into the new filter from the "Mercedes-Benz E-Class Owner's Bible". The "Mercedes-Benz E-Class Owner's Bible" is written by Stu Ritter who is technical editor for the Star Magazine, as well as 25 year MBZ repair shop owner/technician. At the time I thought the idea was good, but I seem to be getting a different opinion from everyone else.

Thanks for the replies so far though.
