Has anyone had success cleaning the take-up tube on original Bugeye fuel
tanks?  Mine is completely plugged.  I've looked at the 'sock' covering the
pickup tube, visible through the sender unit hole.  It appears to have a
latex coating on it.  Needless to say, the pump cannot draw gas up through
the tube.  Any hope of repairing it?  I can't figure out how to reach the
filter.
