om606 prefilter woes
Well changed my fuel filters while maintaining today. Now I cannot get my 1996 E300 to stay running. I did change the o-ring on the fuel line fitting going into the prefilter but it appears to be leaking around the rubber part of the filter against the steel housing. I'm going to look but what are the tricks to getting that to seal good. Thanks

Doesn't sound like you replaced the large quarter sized oring beneath the pre-filter? Has to be ordered separately. You wouldn't be the first to throw it away and have to go dumpster diving to retrieve it.

I found an oring that would work at the auto parts store. Back running. it is a 17.1mm by 2.6 mm close enough to the 18 x 3 spec for now

Yeah my e300 is back running. Put my 300D back into retirement/sale. Its a viton o-ring so hoping it will last a few filter changes. Those fuel filters had been in service for 30000 miles. Must have been running good fuel through them
