To adapt the inlet side, you could use the older style square filter.
Some say this filter causes pump to cavitate but I hear no difference
running my vanagon
Bosch pump with or without that filter. My fuel tank has the smaller outlet.

There's a fuel pump relay bypass method shown in Bentley. Do this to see if
pump runs.
Search Crazyvwvanman forum name on the samba vanagon forum for a neat
electrical diagnostic
tool one can build. Can't recall Marks handle on this forum.
