[TR] Tr3 fuel pump mesh pn500419

[Art McEwen]

Thanks.   10 minutes after I posted I realized I had an entire 2nd fuel pump in the basement.  It had a serviceable mesh and rubber ring so I cannibalized it and applied some aviation gasket maker to the rough side.   So far all the expensive juice is staying inside. 

The other pump looks in better shape but that’s for another day.
