The leak is definitely from the metal pipe part, about a quarter inch above the disc that bolts to the tank, and the lines leading out are part of the whole assembly. In fact, I've been told Mitsubishi considers the whole assembly, including the pump itself, to be one part. This sucks pretty bad since I just paid 240 bucks for a new pump that didn't include the assembly.

I'm checking out car-part.com, but they only offer a category for 'fuel pump' and the places I've called apparently have a vehicle sitting in their yard with no clue as to the parts' actual presence or conditions.

I did see one good lead - it says "bad pump, good lines". Only it is for a RamD50 with a 2.4L engine. I know D50s use the same parts, but most places seem pretty picky about engine size and drive train specs. The shop manual uses identical drawings of the assembly for 2.4 and 3.0 versions. Would anyone happen to have insight into the compatibility of these?
