Last Friday the fuel pump died in my 2000 XJ. (Thought it was the crank sensor. Replaced it, but eventually figured out it was the fuel pump.)

I bought a new Bosch fuel pump at NAPA, but I didn't get the entire assembly; just the pump itself. I was a bit confused during the install because the new pump had a little sock attached to it and the original pump attached to the bottom of the assembly/module which had a sock on the bottom of that. I installed the new pump into the module, but now it won't pump fuel unless the tank is at least 1/2 full. Apparently, the new pump isn't sitting low enough, or something.

Can anyone tell me how to correctly install a new Bosch fuel pump into the original fuel pump module? Obviously, I'm going to have to drop the tank again, but I want to be sure to do it right this time. Other than the sock, the new pump looks exactly like the factory pump. I suppose I could order an entirely new Bosch fuel pump module, but at this point, I'd rather not if I don't have to.

Thanks!

OK, so maybe I'm in new territory here? In case it helps, the pump I have looks like this:




One of the reviewers on that Amazon page says the filter is wrong for an XJ, but I can't figure out how I would make it work with another filter.
