190E 2.6 1992:  Just pulled cover, to replace fuel filter and found a
cruddy mess inside.  Dual fuel pumps right, fuel accumulator left, fuel
filter center.  Fuel outlet fittings facing rear, are white with
corrosion, as in fuel leak, as is the bottom of the cover,  bleached
like, oily and greasy.  Looks like the fiter has been leaking for quite
a while, I'd say at the copper seal,.. the fuel pumps are oily and dirty
so hard to tell if leaking there.            Early tomorrow I plan to...
disconnect battery,.. then use brake cleaner to carefully spray clean,
and wipe entire area have new copper seals for new filter, (last changed
at 81000)  any tips, or cautions, greatly appreciated,  mileage now
135000

You definitely need those copper washers to put in new filter. You have to
crimp the biggest fuel line to prevent the gas tank from emptying completely
onto you.

If for some reason you still have leak after new seals, you need aviation
form-a-gasket... put some on both side of the washer and reinsert it... just
do the one that is leaking.

Washers?  I only recieved, one,  when buying the fuel filter, should
there be two  stacked together?     Thanks for reply!        I am told
to also pinch, (c clamp) the fuel filter outlet hose, and remove gas cap
to relieve pressure.   Check?
