I pulled the Tank and my Fuel strainer sock is black with only a spot about the size of a dime looking like it was pulling fuel. I see LMC has the sending unit but not the sock, does anyone know if I order the sending unit does it come with one? Also can I just not install the sock and reconnect my filter between the pump and tank or am I going to be back to Vapor lock issues.

Thanks
