Re: replacing the fuel filter Reply #2 – February 13, 2010, 03:57:33 pm Yahoo Message Number: 110038Mark, See my message # 50953. The tool you need is NAPA # 3321. Also be careful of the filter part number. There seems to be some confusion on some of the charts that give you the replacement numbers. The filter we needed on our 2000 is NAPA # 3595.Hope this helps,Rich Gort - 2000 MB - Birch Bay, WA
Re: replacing the fuel filter Reply #3 – February 13, 2010, 04:31:49 pm Yahoo Message Number: 110039Thank you Rich, that was what we needed. We got it off and switched out but it still won't start. Turns over but won't catch.

Re: replacing the fuel filter Reply #6 – February 13, 2010, 04:50:49 pm Yahoo Message Number: 110046Mark, Unfortunately, the fuel pump is inside the gas tank! The gas tank has to be dropped to get to it. Big bucks! Sure hope it's something else.Alex Rutchka, SE #4 '05 MB

Re: replacing the fuel filter Reply #8 – February 13, 2010, 05:16:51 pm Yahoo Message Number: 110050Quote thanks for the info. I was afraid of that. Mark Your symptoms are identical to what mine were last summer. Had driven several miles, pulled into an RV park... next morning the engine would crank but not fire. Had it towed and the service facility had the diagnosis within 15 minutes. Took two days to get a pump but once they had it installed, everything was fine and I'm off down the road. Pump and strainer cost $194, labor cost $380 + tax so I was out the door for $591 bucks. And that was at a very small shop in a very remote area. Odometer read 41,796 and tech said that was typical for a pump replacement.Steve S. Lazy Bones & Jiggs

Re: replacing the fuel filter Reply #11 – February 13, 2010, 11:35:54 pm Yahoo Message Number: 110066If you run out of ideas check out the electrical system. I had a '93 MB and after many intermittent problems and many mechanics switched out fuel filters, and fuel pump. I discovered accidentally that shaking one of the fuses that controls the fuel pump temporarily solved the problem. Then the wiring into the fuse box was repaired, and that solved the problem. Good luck.
