Sending unit float?

What is the function of the Strainer sock? it doesnt currently have one of these. I am going to order the float and gasket.

Thanks for the info/part numbers.

The strainer sock is exactly that - a strainer or pre-filter. It keeps whatever chunky bad stuff you may have in your fuel tank from clogging up/damaging the fuel line, fuel pump, or the actual fuel filter.
