<< Rob, if you take the fitting loose on the pump you will see a compression

recommend replacing the compression sleeve by cutting back the fuel line a
bit, installing the compression nut , new sleeve and tightening to the pump
to be sure it doesn't leak. I would hate to hear of an Alpine engine
compartment fire...Bob >>
Bob,
Thanks for the reply. The fuel line came out without anything attached to
it. Looking down the fuel pump inlet opening I see the threads for the
coupler and, beyond that, the bore narrows. It may be that the compression
sleeve stayed inside the fuel pump but I cannot tell for sure. I don't want
to scrape it out without getting a replacement. Do you know how to get a new
sleeve? Are they some standard size?
Thanks!
Rob
