NOTE: The fuel pump assembly is only serviced as a module without the sender unit. The inlet filter can be cleaned with mineral spirits; however, it cannot be replaced.

NOTE: The fuel pump module to tank seal must always be replaced whenever the module is removed from the fuel tank. The correct seal is green in color. Do not use the older black seal.
