    Hi All,

    My fuel pump siezed and I sent it to AEM for warranty. When i removed it form the car, the sock fell off. I dont know if it fell off while removing it or before. I want to make sure it CANT fall off. Right now im thinking of using some zip ties around the canister to hold it on. the car is running full e85. Any advice?

    I went with the walbro 255 and had to cut a hole in the bottom of the canister to be able to secure the sock onto the pump. so far no problems.
