Where is the fuel filter on a 560SEC?

[chris182]

Title pretty much sums it up really. I am midway through a thorough service on my 560SEC and I have a shiny new Hengst fuel filter to put in but I can't seem to find it anywhere? The diagrams in the workshop manual are less than helpful and tracing the fuel lines from the injection system hasn't seemed to help, so I thought I would ask the hive mind of great wisdom and experience.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Next to the fuel pump, on the floor, just ahead of the off-side rear wheel.

Thanks, found it. Couldn't change it as some of the bolts for the retaining bracket were well and truly rusted on . I shall give the penetrating fluid some time to work and try it again at some point. Also discovered a very slight leak from the end of the fuel pump which explains the slight occasional petrol smell on the move, need to sort that too.
