Same thing here on a brand new tank a few years ago. Took it out and round canned it. Felt it would be more trouble to glue it back in as the poly plastic IMO has been hard to get a STRONG bond. So the fuel slooshesssss around.

My guess is that is a varistor. Used to clamp a design voltage based on the part number not seen in the photo. I don't have a TCM to look at so maybe the boys here can verify.
Just a guess, CAMO
You might just have the diesel bug if it is gooo ie. Maybe or not. Keep an open mind. See my posts to what might be the problem. Search others too.

This could be a very sticky mess, CAMO
Little note to the pick-up filter / sock... There is a bypassing valve on the end of the sock. (normal Hmmwv part) If filter screen / material is full of crap and pump is a sucking (tech term) one could have just bypassed the filter element, drawing in tank junk. I read somewhere it was...
Engine temperature sender to work the dash gauge. It all there... wires and all, just busted
That's a hot topic, CAMO
I just looked at the photo this morning 5/9 25 and now it look to be the cold advance switch, biased on the way the injector and return line cap. are located. Either way and...
Well, my Smell-A- Vision app is not working. After the dramamine tab I popped... my guess, maybe the air compressor pump was on and no fluid / refrigerant / oil in the systems. Second guessing...Hope it wasn't a starter stuck / engaged. Maybe the wire harness on that side. Should know when the...
Listen to the pump guy. Clear hose and looking for bubbles could be an indicator of air in the housing. The housing operates completely full (at pressure) from the bottom to the top of the housing regulator little ball thingy. (The 100 dollar part on sale now at amazon LOL) Pumps being...
"Unless i’m missing something.. and I very well could be.. the only thing the “Cold Advance Solenoid” physically does is open and close the check valve."
On the surface...there's more to it than that. While to many ?? it looks to be a check valve... BUT it is a regulator (5 to 15 psi) with the...
EYEBALL👁 view of one kind of gunk in the fuel tank picture. This stuff was like very cold honey. Super sticky. That was a new tank two years ago. Want ta see more? :roll:
A total fuel system mess throughout, CAMO
.....👀
My guess is the metering valve is all gummed up or sticking rusted advance lever and seals. Pumps are precision like a fine watch working at + 2000 psi injection pressures. Supply pressures of 3 - 7 psi OK. Lift pump should be able to fill 16 oz water bottle in 3 or 4.... 20 second cranking...
