99 fuel pump issues

[Ward P]

I couldn't get a replacement retainer plate o-ring for mine, and after a couple of times it expanded and was a bugger to get back in. This is why I went thru the exercise of chucking the filters, ripping out the strainers and then sealing the fuel pump. Haven't had it apart in last 8 years. Just run a $5 inline fuel filter which I replace every second oil change. Haven't had a fuel problem since. (touchwood)
