Bad Idle and milage

Well, continuing in the never ending saga of my 190E the latest thing that I have to address is that the engine idles rough and I seem to be using more gasoline than I should (of course I can't be positive about that because the odometer is broken, but I will save that for another thread). The manifold vacuum indicator seems to be reading higher also. I put sea foam in the gas tank but this made the problem worse. I was told that inasmuch as the car had sat for a long period of time that the sea foam was actually dislodging contaminents from the gas tank and plugging up the fuel filter......but I have changed the filter. I was also told that the car has two filters, but I can only find one........next to the fuel pump and the fuel accumulator (whatever the hell that thing does??). Any ideas?
