Hi, I'm trying to sort out air bubbles in my 1998 E300TD and have been checking o rings. Unfortunately, not being mechanically minded, I've disconnected the two fuel pipes off the silver valve-looking thing at the bottom of the pump and now not sure which way round they go - one goes to the filter and the other to the black plastic thing that I assume is the shut off. Can any one give me a clue without telling me I'm a berk? :roll: Many thanks

Ian

However if they don't lie in a order were they look were they go, just re fit them see if it works if not swap around.

the silver valve looking thing, is the lift pump for pulling the fuel from the tank to the engine. from memory, it should only fit a certain way, ie the plastic pipes can only fit to one place at each end.
