I’m going through the fuel system in my newly acquired 1984. There is a plastic piece in the bottom of the gas tank with an o-ring on it. Anyone have an idea what it might be?

That looks like a fuel strainer or it could be an I tank pump
you have the best chance of figuring this out the picture is small on my phone

I will try to remove it from the tank this afternoon so that I can get a better picture. It’s not the fuel strainer unless it’s a part of the strainer. Pic of removed strainer attached. I have a new strainer on the way I can compare it to later this week.

Looks like the remnants of the fuel strainer. I pulled one out of a 924 that had that plastic center like the one in your picture

Thanks! A piece of the fuel strainer was my first guess. The new fuel strainer should be delivered today so I should be able to compare.

The new strainer was delivered today. I’m fairly certain that the mystery piece is not from the old strainer.

Mrmerlin

thats amazing you got the old strainer out with all the crud on those threads
I dont recognize that part maybe it came from an additive can
