After putting in the new fuel pump, I just want to leave the plastic cover off.
Any harm in this?
Car will never be driven off-road.

 

well that cover protects the tank its self from the salt and many other thing its your choice i really recommend putting it back

 

He's in florida,he will never see salt lol. you'll be fine.

 

It won't hurt anything to leave it off, even though you will never be offroad.


But I question your choice as to why? As low as the chances are, you could run over something that could possibly kick up and hit/puncture the tank. Yes, I've seen it happen before.

 

I will probably get under ther this afternoon and put it back on.
