Just So Dno ~
I've not yet done my Wagon but the Sedans and Coupes I removed the tank screen using a 46 (IIRC) MM socket and then washed the accumulated crud off after I'd cut away the thin metal crimp holding the rotten hose to the end nipple .
It's easy and can be done by hand with a pair of dykes or a strong small flat bladed screwdriver .
You'll need about 12" of DIESEL RATED 7MM hose and some sort of clamp ~ a spring clamp would be nice , I use the original Mercedes fuel injection hose clamps , they're band typ and cannot cut / damage the hose as do regular screw typ ' jubilee ' clamps .

best bet is to remove the strainer from tank to cut clamp off. Then replace the hose. While it's out, pull the sending unit from the top and do what you can to rinse out as much crap as you can.
