Need help with fuel siphon jet pump
Ive been searching for a while here on the issue. Ive had my car for 3 weeks. I was planning on cleaning the jet pump orifice, but after getting to it I find 2 filters attached to it. This looks different than what ive seen in the other thread about the siphon pump by MIKER. My car is a 00 FRC and last weekend I ran out of gas only being able to put in around 9 gallons or so. Ive got the codes p0461,p0463,p1431. When I ran out of gas and filled back up the car started stalling like it wasn't getting gas then BAM it accelerates like fuel is just getting to it. Im assuming this is because of the fuel filter being clogged. The car has 174k miles. If my jet pump was already clogged only using the left tank and this happened after I filled up should I be replacing both fuel strainers and the jet pump on both sides? Im getting the gauge going to Zero issue. I still smell like gas from yesterday! I really don't want to drain the left tank, but oh well. Thanks for reading.

Usually when you can't put all of the gas into the tanks, the crossover tube has collapsed. Your picture is the first one I've seen for the Jet Siphon Pump. If you smell gas from it, I'm thinking that something is leaking

I had no leaks. As far as the hose collapsing, I thought it was reinforced with steel internally? Theres another thread on here that shows the jet pumps orifice. That is what i was looking for. On the thread it has a pic of a 2 metal looking things where I have filters instead. heres that thread:
