The end cap of the pump came off in the tank. I put it back together and the impeller spins but it doesn’t pump any fuel. Is there suppose to be anything between the impeller and the end cap of the pump?

DSCF1894.jpg My original pump went out to lunch years ago, so I installed this external pump that I purchased from OD Iron about 8 years ago, and it's still going. Some of our vendors may have them.

If you can find all the parts myself I would just put it back together. There was a thread or a PM magazine article about how to pin the bottom plate from ever falling off again. I like the idea of the pump in the tank and don't know if a above tank pump would aerate the fuel more than the in tank.
