Thread: Gas tank fuel pick-up

Tweet

Howdy Jim,

Is it warm enough for you yet? 100 + in Austin with rolling black-outs as the power plants are still in their maintenance cycles this time of the 'cool' year!

Seems to me the drain hole is probably what they intended for a pick-up. If you come out with a smooth 90 degree fitting and minimize the profile it shouldn't be too bad no? The tank is well off the ground and protected substantially by the rear end ..............

A well designed tank will usually have a baffle around the suction line to retain gas during cornering when it gets low. My brooksville tank has these on both left and right side pick-up points.

Regards, Kitz

maybe a one peice pickup & sending unit.
