1980 450SL Fuel pump???

Samsaid75 22 April 2005 20:12:57
 towards the end of a 45 min trip the car started sputtering and just in
time to pull over to the side it completely shut off. Thinking the gas
guage was wrong (reading about 1/4 tank left) I walked to a gas station
and refilled with a gallon. The car fired back up but within a minute
sputtered again to a stop. It will now restart if I leave it sitting for a
while, but will only run for a couple of seconds until it cuts off again.
Sometimes it won't even start up at all just turn over. I bought it about
a year ago and have within the last 4 months replaced the air filter, fuel
filter and distributer.

Any ideas what this might be? Just trying to get an estimate before I take
it in to a shop.

 Dirty fuel filter, worn out fuel pump relay, worn out fuel pump.

Fuel pressure and volume can be tested so suggest that before buying a
new fuel pump.
