IL Busted upper Fuel Assembly Discharge Tube and Missing o-ring

I've been chasing a P-0171 and have narrowed it down to a potential bad fuel pump. When starting the job I smelled a bit of fuel around the discharge tube. Upon removal I see there is no o-ring. I also broke my discharge tube after that being clumsy.

Does anybody know where I can get just the upper assembly and that missing o-ring without spending $$$$ from the dealer for an entire canister and fuel line?

Thanks ahead of time.

Nobody happens to know the size or where to get just the o-ring?

Give Mazmart a call. If it's possible they will be able to split out a part number for you, and probably be able to get it for you. Otherwise, they may be able to help you with what size, and then you can just but an equivalent size o-ring from an auto parts store.

I did a better Inspection today. I confirmed I CAN see a green oring inside the connector. Here is my problem and I wouldn't have found it had I not broke it off.

Check out this crack.
