When you replaced the fuel filter and o-ring, which o-ring did you replace (the large one for the top of the tank?)

Also, when you had the pump out of the filter did you run into and put back on the small plastic sleeve that goes on the output of the fuel pump and slides into a recess in the filter?

Thanks for your input CTScott! I actually read your thread on MI on the fuel filter analysis and also followed your directions on removal as outlined in some other threads here. Great info!

The o-ring I replaced was the little one that fits on top of the fuel pump. I did not replace the large blue one at the top of the tank.

Small plastic sleeve on the fuel pump outlet? I didn't come across this...can you explain this further please?

Thanks for the help...much appreciated!
