Pick-up tube and sender fitting
The pick-up tube draws fuel from the lowest point of the tank into the pump, so its condition affects how well the engine receives fuel. An old tube can be clogged by sediment, cracked at its joints or bent where it meets the tank floor. When this assembly is fitted, the tube and sender should be checked together so the float and the pick-up sit at sensible heights above the tank bottom.
Sediment from older tanks often collects near the tube, so clean out the tank before fitting the new assembly. Inspect the interior for rust flakes and remove them, since they can block the tube inlet soon after installation. Replace the lock and O-ring together with the tube, because a worn seal can let fuel vapour escape at the tank opening.
- Look for sediment at the tank bottom
- Check tube joints for cracks
- Keep the O-ring clean and undamaged
