I know I have a million irons in the fire right now and I will get back to all of my posts as I move forward but before I finish something I'm always running into something else and trying to see how everything plays together.
The question about the fuel filter is probably something that can't be answered with 100% certainty but I'm curious. I had this fuel filter put on in December, sometime in the first or second week and I live in a snowy state with road salt. I noticed it isn't secured and has a lot of wobble so I'm going to make sure that gets secured but it seemed overly rusty to me, not the connections which weren't replaced, but the actual filter around the rim. Does this look new? Is this how quickly I should expect something like that to rust? I ask because I don't want to accuse anybody of anything but I found it odd that they said it would be 15 to 20 minutes before a filter was delivered and they would change it out for me and the next thing you knew 5-10 minutes later they said they were done and I was like oh you got a filter? And they said yeah you're all set. I look at it today and it just doesn't appear to be very new but perhaps this is how quickly the type of metal on this part would rust.
Another picture is where there appears to be a short metal line that is cut off at a rusted connector or end part and the one below it runs all the way across. What am I looking at and should it be two lines there with one short and one long that continues or am I looking at a broken/missing line of some sort?
The third pic is an oval straight up above me also on driver side and I'm not sure what the line is that goes into it and where it continues to beyond that oval.
