What do I still need to fix my fuel system?

[THE_FATTIE]

I do a lot of lerking and not much posting, But lately I have been gearing up for a rebuild of my fuel system. In a feeble attempt to fix it last fall I got a little gung ho and made a mistake or two...



So I started on a journey to get this fixed, and in the end Im just about going to replace the whole fuel system. I dont feel like dealing with rust, and I really only want to do this once lol

My plan starts in the tank, and I plan on getting started in a couple weeks. So far I have the kit from Fabberge and I know its not complete, I just dont know exactly what else I need and if I even can get it seperately.



I think I know what I need, but I would like to have as much as possible ready before I pull the old one. I need to get the bracket and the bolt that go on the bottom of the fuel pump. I need to get a fuel level float thing, and the wiring that goes on top, Id rather not try to reuse the setup above.

I did notice on the underside of the top plate that all but one of the bolts had an insulating washer the other one looks like this? Is that ok or should I swap it out somehow?



And then in going thru all the parts I found this little guy, its very tiny, the hole is about the size of one of the post nuts, and I have not been able to find any information about what it is... Extra metal in the bottom of the bag? or something I should know about?



As I end almost every post, I thank you in advance for any adivse or input you can give me. Im sure there is info Ive left out and more Ill have to ask later.

Thanks for reading and Have a great day!

The post without the nylon washer is for the ground, it would not ground properly with a nylon washer.

I had this all typed up and then hit "reply to thread" instead of "post quick reply"

I honestly thought the fuel hat was supposed to be "disconnected" from the tank. wouldn't that ground the tank threw the bolts that hold the hat on? Or am I thinking too much into this?

Im not trying to be a jerk I just really dont know, and I like to be direct. Thanks for the info tho Beef6

So just as an FYI, I bought the IPS fuel hat (aka same thing as the fabberge), personally I'd send it back and look at the 3sx one. the IPS hat has fitment issues, its difficult to get in and out of the tank with the fuel level and low fuel sensors being in poor position. Also the double nutting the electrical wiring just sucks, I actually had my power lead get loose and I lost my fuel pump driving down the road. I'll admit this was my fault, I was trying to tighten the actual incoming power down and broke the bottom nut lose, but this just demonstrates how easy it to mess up big time with a little nut. Just saying this isn't the highest quality piece, I'd look elsewhere.
