Well, since it's different from the Montero, I can't definitively state, but when I replaced my Raider's fuel pump, the "curved metal tube" goes through the mounting plate, and the fuel pump is then connected to the tube inside the tank via a short length of hose. The metal tube is not replaceable. If it is cracked you'll need to get a new fuel pump bracket. I speak from experience here <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

If the leak is coming from the connection of the rubber fuel line between the tank and filter, it might be as simple as tightening the connection with a couple of line wrenches, although it sounds like dropping the tank is required to do this. If you do it yourself, remember that the metal pipe fitting is NOT a flare nut (again, voice of experience). You want to disconnect the rubber fuel line at the fuel-filter-side fitting first, which DOES have a flare nut on it, then tighten down the fuel-pump side with a wrench on the fuel pump fitting to keep it stationary.

If your metal tube is the culprit, you'll need to call around to some recyclers and get a replacement. At least, that's what I ended up doing. You'll need the whole bracket because the metal pipe is brazed into the mounting plate and not replaceable. Good luck!
