its just a sock.
Might be able to buy a new one, otherwise maybe just spray it out with some carb cleaner.
Biggest issue might be rusty screws holding the cover down. Spray them down and let them soak if they are really bad

Himni racing has replacement stainless steel hardware for the fuel pump cover.

It is not the same kind of filter as the one near the engine, it's more of a mesh sock looking thing. Some cars have replaceable ones, I don't know if FC's are one of those.

hmmn so if its not replaceable, then can it be cleaned somehow.. the hesitation I feel has to be fuel related if not that than ignition.. because after 3k rpm, it pulls and hard

It should replaceable. I changed mine when i had serious corner hesitation and it solved it. I have a different non-stock fuel pump though. Anyways, it is worth to change that and not very hard. Alot of people neglect these small things.

Just check the sock for now, deal with the fuel pump when you do the swap

It's really easy to replace and worth doing. It's easier to change than the other filter because you don't have to get under the car.
