Title
Mercedes W123 Diesel Secondary Filter Replacement
Introduction
The secondary, larger, spin-on fuel filter on the W123 diesel engines does the heavy lifting when it comes to filtering. It keeps small particles in the fuel from damaging the injection pump and the injector nozzles.
It does a good job of this, but over time it can be come clogged. Eventually, fuel flow will be limited to the point where it affects power output. Change it before that happens. Consider changing it at least every other year, depending on how much you drive. And definitely replace it after you perform a diesel purge.

Conclusion
After finishing, run the engine to ensure it was properly primed. If it doesn't start after 30 seconds of cranking, stop and prime some more.
