Oh, okay. From what I read in your posts I suppose what I would do in your place is nothing -- with the main pump/filter.

Of course, I cannot hear the pump, and I don't know how your confidence in it or the job of replacing it bears on such a decision. More detail about the loose filter (goes to that confidence I suppose) might help. Was it leaking? Or did you just decide to wrench on it and it felt like you could move it a bit tighter? Which end was loose?

As for replacing the tank pump "just because" did you already have the sender out or was that still in the planning stages? How was the connecting hose between sender and tank pump? Is it possible to fix the leaky filler pipe with a wrap of some sort of fuel-resistant tape and/or epoxy? Or did you get that one Oleseahorse saw on ebay? I have no experience here.
