Upper/Outer "boot" is a cover to keep water off pump. Windshield plenum drain hole is right above it. Factory had drain tube similar to A/C evaporator drain. Mine was missing. Rather than replace (clog city), made a splash guard to route rain water off either side of tank. You need something, otherwise recessed pump boot will fill with water and rust pump fittings. I don't much care for the pump cover. Shrinks and becomes hard (is made from different material than pump boot). Also difficult to maneuver fuel lines through it. Since I've got a full splash guard just omitted. See separate post Re: welding crumple tube. Bill. >--- In DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxx> wrote: > Hm.
