I spoke to a Mercedes Service Manager and was instructed NOT to change my own filter. The filter itself requires special tools to remove safely. He also told me that the filter fitting designs have changed over the years and alot of the time not only the filter, but also some of the connecting hoses, need to be changed as well. Changing the hoses requires the back seats, floor, and wheel well to be removed. In optimal shop settings, it takes a qualified Mercedes mechanic over 2 hours to complete the change. I'm a pretty savvy DIYer when it comes to vehicles.... but this repair has real potential to become a Pandora's Box of issues. Sorry folks, but i think this one is better left to the professionals.

Can you use regular gas instead of premium in Mercedes ml500?

While you can technically use regular gas in a Mercedes ML500, it is not recommended. The ML500 is designed to run on premium fuel, which ensures optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and engine longevity. Using regular gas may lead to engine knocking and reduced power, potentially causing long-term damage. Always refer to the owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommendations regarding fuel.

How do you change a fuel filter on a Mercedes ml320?

To change the fuel filter on a Mercedes ML320, first, ensure the vehicle is turned off and the fuel system is depressurized by removing the fuel pump fuse and running the engine until it stalls. Next, locate the fuel filter, which is typically found along the fuel line under the vehicle. Disconnect the fuel lines from the filter using appropriate tools, and then remove the old filter. Install the new filter in the correct orientation, reconnect the fuel lines, and replace the fuse before starting the engine to check for leaks.

To the best of my knowledge, as an owner of the E class, the filter and the sending unit are contained IN THE FUEL TANK; hence the reason for the $300.00+ charge to change it...
