I got a fleetgaurd replacement valve for my stock engine mounted fuel filter. Are the two little O rings par to the installation or additional replacement rings for the sealing plunger? Figured someone here already has done this. Only like $13 from Geno's. I've been waiting for changing the filter to replace the drain valve which leaked last time I did a filter change. Had to flip it open and closed a few times before it sealed. Maybe just dirty. Plus after new lift pump install I increased pressure from about 8psi to 20. Might have brought on deferred maintenance of the drain valve.

Sounds like I better clean the input screen to my Raptor too. Dreading another seemingly inevitable fuel pump failure. :-(

Any opinions on frequency of tear down and cleaning of the gear inside the gearator?

I have no auxiliary filter behind the pump.

They are just 2 new o-rings. I forget exactly where they go but I remember one fell off into the abyss during removal of the old unit and the other was stuck in a perfect slot.

I just got the tan o ring assortment pack at Autozone for $6 & change. Has all I needed & then some.
