The difference between pumps filters and setups of the same chassis cars, w140's and R129's, is a mind boggle

Ok so it’s not just me. Because I’ve worked on a bunch and every time I’m confused on what I’m going to see

Same -- I think the only way to know which filter connection you have is to check with your own eyes. The VIN wasn't useful for knowing in advance (in my experience).

Hey man I’ve learned so much from your videos ! I have a 98 s500 that’s been stalling at stops and reds. I suspect it might be the fuel filter as the car has 150k miles and to my knowledge this has not been changed. Thoughts ?

Yes could definitely be fuel. Always start with fuel and spark. Keep in mind it could also be clogged injectors. Best thing to do is change filter and add a ton of fuel cleaner to fresh tank. I like to only do a 1/4 tank of fresh gas with like 3 bottles of injector cleaner and then let car get to temp and rev it up for a bout 20min to push the cleaner through the injectors. After that change spark plugs and depending on heat check cap and rotor.

Looks like it was in Backwards before you removed

Can you tell me where's the fuel pump relay located on the s500 w140?

I've been watching your videos for a while now, but never noticed until this one that you aren't lifting the car on the jack pads...

Yeah didn’t really expect it to be that bad but I’m glad I went with my instinct when it started running rough.

Will you be cleaning out the fuel tank? Let us know!

So off camera next day I drained it and fuel wasn’t dirty just old. Fresh fuel and car is running amazing. I don’t think the tank is bad just bad fuel and old filter. I plan to swap out filter again soon.
