Did the pickup have a flexible end on it or was it a solid pipe. The
ends have been known to fall of and it is unusual, but the pipes have
cracked or rust holed by being left almost empty lots so condensation
can build up on the pipe out of the liquid.

Hummm.. I don't remember what was on the bottom of the pump. That sounds
likely due to the amount of fuel that should of been left in the tank. I
was wondering if the pump had an extension. Most in-tank pumps I've dealt
with just have a 'sock' on the pick-up end.

Just not too thrilled about dropping that tank. I remember it was a bugger
the first time around but prolly won't know for sure what's wrong till I
drop it.

Thanks for the info...
