I was told that it could be ethier the fuel pump,fuse or relay?

I thank you in advance and would appreciate any help givien on that matter.  

Answer
Is this a 1999 E300D Turbo = E300 Diesel Turbo?
As I recall, the shutoff valve is vacuum.

When you say "not start again" do you mean it will not crank the engine, or crank but no start?

On the 1999 Mercedes, step one of any diagnosis is to scan for codes, your local dealer has the best tool for this.
