Thats a fuel filter by the looks of it. I assume that was taken from in front of the diff looking backwards?

ETA... a dirty fuel filter too..., might be worth cleaning that out before you try to pump fuel through.

Havnt seen one of those for a few years, they used to be fitted to Bedford CF's  they are a water trap.

That is a pretty important bit of kit, it filters before it hits the pump. The next one fine filters before it hits the injectors. All good fun Brian, that's what you get for buying a fancy Sierra, for fancy read fast :-))

From memory they didnt generally have a filter in them, just a screen, as was purely a water trap.  Mind you wouldnt rely on my memory as the last time I cleaned one out on a service was in about  1979  :-)))))))
