Mercedes W126 420SEL - Fuel filter/pumps - mikeweathers

Have removed fuel filter and fuel pumps(2)

Problem is I cant remember how they go back

The connectors on the wheel side are all banjo type so thats OK

but what about the hoses? A picture would be nice

Should not be too difficult to figure out.The flexi hoses run from the tank to the (push on)ends of the pumps. I find it easier to remove the whole pump/filter framework from the car and re-assemble on the bench,so that the clamp aligns correctly.You may need to replace the rubber support bushes.This may help;www.youtube.com/watch?v=CknB8nrzXyc
