I'm in the process of installing the tuna can and am unsure what goes where. Any help is greatly appreciated.

QUOTE(LotusJoe @ Mar 10 2015, 02:11 PM)  I'm in the process of installing the tuna can and am unsure what goes where. Any help is greatly appreciated. I just did this about 6 weeks ago. the strainer goes on the bottom facing upward. the bottom cover goes under that. you will need 3 seals. 1. bottom cover facing up, 2. put seal on this between it and the strainer, and 3. put another seal between the strainer and the tuna can 4 put seal on top of tuna can and attach to car. I don't remember which way the part you were asking about goes, but it will only fit one way. I think the longer part goes down, the shorter up, on top of the strainer. Some choose to use gasket sealer on the seals, I just put oil on them, I have not had a leak since I installed mine. Good Luck. Phil |

Whatever you do, make sure that the pickup tube extender is sealed around the pickup tube, else the engine will pickup air through the gap that will be higher than the original pickup tube. Kind of defeats it's purpose without sealant.
