No, it will fade, but not break down. I painted my driving light mount on my last Celica with it (completely exposed), and it turned a pretty light shade of gray over the 6 years that it was in use, but never rusted.

The knobby thing on the end is a pulsation damper. The pump on the right would think can deliver more fuel at higher pressure than the SPFI pump on the left....

Here’s what the answer should have been: Don’t use a torch. cut out with an angle grinder/recip saw. I should have known this, same as rear outback bolts, pointless to try to save them around here. My Tribeca has little rust so I was thinking it might be different...nope. I torched the €+<%,*! out of it, Oxy-propane torch, burnt all the bushing rubber out and then got the bolt red hot on both ends, liberal amounts of yield, and torched the sleeve, and quick cooled it a couple times...to put out the flames on the burning undercover and the HVAC metal heat shield I had in place which lit up and melted too then I used an old socket bolted to a long piece of all thread so I could wail on the bolt from behind the car with a huge few pound steel mallet swinging as hard as I could. no movement at all. The bolt is seized inside the inner bushing sleeve. so I’m guessing its best to cut these off and replace the bolts each time. That would’ve been way easier. Now that the bushing material is melted away and the Outer sleeve moves more, theres more room for making an ideal cut.

That black/ yellow wire next to coil , has a single white female plastic housing? No need to connect it until you are ready for some fun it will have 5V with IGN ON while ENG Off. When you get engine running, that wire should then drop to 1.7V it is for diagnostic purposes for knock control

Can you test the pressure? Mpfi need 36 psi and if I recall correctly spfi need about half that ?? It all depends on fuel pressure regulator too if both pumps push out more

Saw this on craigslist and thought I'd share it. https://medford.craigslist.org/pts/d/yreka-free-subaru-wagon-parts/7009066757.html
