2001 fuel pump replacement fun

Got the tank dropped without any major issues amazingly.

Broke the stupid pressure sensor:

Is this thing JB Weldable? It it just going to trip my CEL if broken? Any other problems?

Also, my fuel pump bolts were rusted like crazy:

I've got them soaking in PB Blaster now. Of course the new Airtex pump doesn't come with replacement bolts? Anybody know what size these are? (the bolt, not the 8 mm head).

Thanks!

An equal mix of acetone and transmission fluid is one of the best rust cutters there is. I would replace the sensor and be done with it, no use taking a chance. Not sure of the bolt size.

Try replacing a starter on a 4.6l/5.4l sometime!

I have replaced the starter on a 4.6, just don't know what that's got to do with this guy's gas tank.
