I wouldn't have thought so, I believe it has an in tank lift pump which should do the job.

If it's similar to the E class you can be turning the engine over for several minutes before the air is purged.

I didn't like putting my starter through this so would fill a new filter with clean fuel before fitting.

Turn the ignition on for 30 seconds to prime filter via lift pump in tank, it will self bleed
