See the pictures below... I cleaned out the filters because I couldn't get my hands on new filters only.
Pic 1. - It's a small filter that goes INSIDE the pump container, unlike the larger outside filter that serves as a "strainer" (not pictured). Anyone know what the purpose of this filter is for? It has 3 little rubber valves on it but why all that for inside the fuel pump container? Looks like something that would be found on the space shuttle or something.
Pic 2. - You can see the red arrows point to the outer areas where the filter was split open for cleaning. I didn't realize it, but it was somehow glued together or something. Now, I need to get the filter BACK TOGETHER and don't know what kind of glue to use, that will withstand gasoline saturation from being inside the tank. Can I JB-Weld back together? Any ideas? I don't want to risk and particles coming apart in the tank from the adhesive I use, clogging my injectors and stuff.
Pic 3. - What the heck is this? I actually forgot how it mounted but I think this is how. after ruling out all other locations and options, this has to be the way it went on.
Pic 4. - You can see the cinter black valve presses inside that hole, where the fuel pump sits just on the other side. When I FIRST pulled the actual fuel pump out of the container, there was a bit of a suction, which was hard to tell what caused it at first because of all the gasoline in there... I assumed it was seals of some sort. Now that I think about it, the actual pump was stuck on that little rubber thing in the middle. Am I right about this? It makes sense, but the configuration of the rubber valve thingie, looks as if it would "oppose" the flow of fuel into the pump, so thats why I'm a bit confused with how this mounts. Like I said, when I FIRST pulled the fuel pump out of the container, it was stuck on something causing resistance, like a seal or something. Come to find out, I think it was that middle rubber valve... at least I think.
ANY ideas / insight welcome!
Thanks
