Just replaced the fuel pump with a low mileage pump (cheers Cheesie) 'refurbished' with the filter kit - but the pre-filter, different from the OE item, had too small an outlet diameter to slide onto the pump base inlet stub - anyone else had this problem or was it just me being stupid?

I had the same problem, forced it on..

No. 47 have you still got the old filters my company sells and makes mesh filters and would like to see if one could be made, if a prefilter was made with an apeture of say 20 microns would there even need to be a second filter

Threw the new non-fitting one away but have the old one on the spare pump - will post to you tomorrow.

I warmed the new tea bag filter up a bit and then used much force to put it on. Worked.. Hope it will stay there.
