Fix the fuse block wire termination and get good mechanical contact to newly tinned wire end

Drain tank and remove tank filter, then be amazed
Install in line fuel filter with adequate flow rate for 65 PSI

Nice write up. Thanks.
The pump pushes around 100 psi until stepped down by the fuel distributor to system pressure. Would that impact the through-put capacity needed for the in line filter? Seems it would.
Also, only because I have done this, if not much in the tank you can pull tank filter first and allow tank to drain into a tub. I observed no cooties in my car but I have in an XJ 12. I did repeated tank rinses straining drain gas through an old t-shirt before pouring back through.
For the 911 tank plug I had a big cold chisel that had a shank that fit perfectly. Crescent wrench to loosen. May be a PITA to find the right size allen wrench. Industrial supply house, perhaps?
