Default Fuel Relay help

Hello Sleepwalker, can you please tell me wear to find the fuel pump relay for S320 95'.
one other question, can you tell me how to relive fuel line pressure, so that i may test the pump.
As you know from my other questions, my car won't start first time ever in it's live.
Thank you very much for the help. If anyone would like to jump in, please do.

you may release the presure from schraeder valve on the fuel rail.

Sleepwalker, I have a question for you, where is the fuel filter on my 99 C280, I have a feeling it is underneath the car spliced into the fuel line somewhere?

Thanks for the photo I can't open the entire pic on aol, but will try photoshop to edit, I assume it is the large cannister in the left hand photo's? Wrong address your caveman is holding by the way.

Sleepwalker, thanks for the help, I have O-pressure in the fuel rail.[&o] I pressed the valve no release of fuel. This I did after trying to charge the system by crank engine. I would imagine the fuel regular value would still allow for some pressure even if it failed, would this be correct?

Question: Is there a similar relay located in the car that’s accessible that I could swap for a test of the fuel relay?[X(]

It’s and very long ways to the nearest dealer.
This is really cutting into my beer drinking time
Thanks again for any help

you just remove that relay and make a jumper wire. that will activate the pump.

the diagram can be found on the relay cover.

Hello Sleepwalker, thanks for the quick response. I did’nt think about that was going to remove the fuel pump and beach test. My wife came home with a new relay, hey how many wifes will do that Unfortunately the relay did not help
Do you think there’s a pretty good chance the fuel pump is gone[&o]
