I have a 2006 WRX, and got my gas tank this past Monday. In putting things together I encountered a problem inserting the fuel filter/ pump into the tank.
The first difference was my fuel filter is about 5 times the size shown in the manual. The second problem comes when I tried to insert it into the tank opening.
After some rolling up the filter, this is harder than it sounds since there is a plastic grid on the filter bottom. Next problem occurred when the entire unit does not
go into the tank all the way, thus making it impossible to close.
Any thoughts, or fixes. THANKS Grayghost
