Mysterious Piece During Fuel Pump Install!?!? can i do without???
what exactly is this piece?? all it looks like is a coupler between the fuel pump and the fuel lines but whats up with the metal part. when i went to put the new pump on this piece doesnt fit snugly but could i just use a piece of rubber fuel hose to connect the pump to the metal lines???

If you need to use a piece of fuel hose inside your tank, be sure it is SAE J30R10 spec hose. That hose is high pressure fuel hose that was designed to be immersed in fuel. DO NOT use fuel hose that is designed for inline use only [SAE J30R9]. It will not survive inside the tank.

Yes, but it needs to be a specific fuel hose (this quote is from APEUSA.com, a place that sells Walbro fuel pumps):

Whatever you do, do NOT install the wrong hose:
