Project Iona Part 4: 1997 Mercedes S500 Fuel Lines, Air Intake Hoses, and Air Filter Replacement

Welcome back to W140 Restorations and Part 4 of Project Iona as we replace the fuel lines under the hood of this S500 5.0L M119 V8 powerplant. No longer available through online retailers or dealer networks, we replace some very old and tired fuel lines with a new pair of single ear hose clamps and braided fuel lines. We replace missing air cleaner mounts and change the air filters on this W140 and install a missing engine cover. Parts list used on Project Iona Part 4 are listed below.
