I'd go this way:
1- buy a 1500 maintenance manual and take a look at the proper chapter;
2- ask to your local mechanic, even though he'd not know anything about our Drifters;
3- buy a new rubber grommet, anyway (try on ebay or amazon, or something like that).

- February 05, 2023, 21:48:59 PMTrying to resurrect my drifter that sat for years. Removed the tank and cleaned out the rust. Learned from this forum that quantum fuel systems sells a replacement fuel pump for around 90 bucks so I thought I may as well replace that too while I have the tank off.
My first question is what is that little cylinder all the way on the right side of this photo? The one with the wire coming out of it? It seems delicate, and the wire moves loosely inside there. Just wondering what this thing is and if that's supposed to move like that?
Second question is do I really have to replace that rubber grommet at the bottom of the pic? If so, where can I get one?
Also, is there a page that tells you how to do this replacement job? I found an old post on here that had a link to such a page but the link is no longer valid.
