Bosch fuel pump install

Sorry for a stupid question but I just got a new Bosch 69218 fuel pump from Rockauto. No install instructions. I guess I can just replace the autozone crap i bought, but notice several adapters, a clamp, a hose, and other stuff that may not be what i need. I got the old pump out and got a new strainer. Also I dropped the little washer/holder for the electrical plug into the tank. (I'm a mess today) anybody know what size to replace it?.

Next question is the four fuel lines that come off the top of tank. I'd like to be sure they are clear. How do I determine which goes where? I got a new Fram fuel filter and will install.

The charcoal canister in front. Could it be clogged? I checked pressure and had only 10 PSI at fuel rail. 12 volts at pump.

Thanks for your vast knowledge base. I really appreciate the answers i get on this site.

I think I got the pump in correctly. Also retrieved retention washer from tank. Lucky it was empty!

Still wonder about clearing the fuel lines. Anyone?
