Wellcraft fuel tank pick up

[ltfella]

Hello I have  Florida marine tank fmt102Wc from 1989. When I pulled the pick up feed nipple off there was not a plastic tube connected to it. When I looked in the hole there was an aluminum tube going down. Not sure if that stay in the tank or stay connected to the fitting or missing a plastic tube. Try emailing manufacture and still no contact received from them thanx dave

Sounds like the pickup tube has broken off.  I had that happen on a boat in the 80’s and that tank had dual pickups so I just switched pickups to the other one.  If it is a single pickup tank you’ll have to fix so you pull fuel from bottom of tank.
