[Spridgets] Repairing old fuel tank

[GUY DAY]

Bruce,
The only way I have heard of is to pull the filter off by whatever means 
possible and then use an in-line filter in the engine bay where it is 
easier to reach.
  I have also thought that a good reversed flow of kerosene or a fairly 
high pressure air line may do the trick but I've never tried that.
Best of luck,

Guy R Day

Subject: [Spridgets] Repairing old fuel tank

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.
Bugeye in St. Louis
