Hello

They are ALWAYS sold as an assembly. If yours has a rubber tip the tip is worn out.

Hello

They also often get debris stuck in there from the gas tank. Drain the bowl via drain screw in to dlear glass. Gas should look almost clear no debris. bad gas is apple juice color.

Hello ford 4x4302

Yes it probably is but keep in mind the filter in the tank goes bad and small rust particles etc can INSTANTLY plug it up again causing another leak. The fact that it already had some speaks for itself.

Do you have an old vintage bronco? Sport? Uncut fenders [not likely]? I love those things.


Hope this info helps.
