The canister in your picture is probably a filter. I forget when the cutoff year was that kept the canister, but deleted the filter (permanently sealing the canister). My '87 STX had the filter inside the canister, contrary to some people mentioning that an '87 shouldn't. When I rebuilt the fuel injection system I replaced it with the filter-less canister (https://www.amazon.com/Ford-FOTZ-9K044-A-TANK-FUEL-RESERVE/dp/B000NU3IW4) because it was such a pain to remove that metal cover in a 4x4 Ranger, and not mess up the o-ring when reassembling it.
As far as the metal filter you mentioned, it should be nestled in the frame right after the frame mounted high pressure fuel pump that you also have pictured. It should be there, as I believe it is required for fuel injected Rangers. I've attached a couple images that may help. The filter is #9155 at the upper right and left of the first page, and in the middle right of the second page. The filter is covered by a metal plate, and attached with two bolts (I believe they are both on top of the frame, and the one towards the back of the truck is hard to get to), and a large hose clamp. I've always reused the two clips that hold the plastic fuel lines onto the filter, making sure they are re-inserted so they can't fall out.

Epoxy did the trickView attachment 58091Is the fuel line post supposed to detach like this??? And what should I use to attach it?
