On the return fuel line there is a 2" round metal diaphram looking disc held in line by heat shrunk tubing that is leaking fuel.Several auto part techs did'nt have a clue what it was called or what it did. A Ford dealer could only tell me the pat was discontinued. Can I eliminate this part, and how, or will I be forced to by the whole fuel line assembly?

sounds like a quick disconnect fitting but 2' sounds too big did you measure it accurately or just estimate? post a pic.
