So I was curious to see if the 924 really needs the in-tank fuel pump. I have heard of people removing it and replacing it with a strainer instead and having no problems at all except for being a little lean on the highway.
I know this part is extremely expensive(atleast from all my sources) and was wondering if this would be a good alternative for the future if mine does so go out.

I did this on my 80 931 without any issue and it doesn't run lean on highway.

So what did you do to mount the fuel line in the tank? Does the own pump touch the top of the tank and leave a hole
If so what did you do to seal it?

Sorry guys I have not picked up my car yet to look
