2001 +- Fuel Pick Up Question
« on: June 22, 2024, 08:05:25 PM »
I was wondering what Aquasport did at the end of the fuel pickup?  Was is just open or is there some sort of screen or sock on there?

Might be a Moeller  question now that I think of it.

Well, I haven't heard anything back from Moeller yet.

The poly tanks I have from Moeller just had a plastic pipe going down to just short of the tank bottom, no filter/sock in the tank.
Some have a one way check valve at the fitting outside the tank, looks like a threaded hose nipple, those can get crusty and stick at times.

Yeah, I'm 99.99% certain my issue that is the anti-siphon vale.  I'm going to remove it and install a brass barbed fitting and all new fuel line.  I really don't like the idea of playing around with crusty stuff on the poly tanks if I don't have to.

Might want to get an aluminum barbed fitting, Moeller sells them on their website. Pretty sure it screws into another aluminum fitting attached to the tank.
