I installed my new Walbro 340 in my car a few weeks back. When I pulled to pump out, the sock was pretty toasted. I noticed the the new pump had a screen in it and the stock one didn't. So, I went ahead and put it in anyways since there was a screen in it.
Now it has me thinking if I should have did this. I was thinking if any junk goes up in the pump, yea, it will get stopped by the screen in the pump but block some of the fuel going in it. Now, if the sock was on there, it will block the junk but still have all the more area than the screen in the pump and still supply fuel to the pump. Does that make sense? Should I even have to worry about it?
TIA,
