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.<div>Bugeye in St. Louis</div><div>Bruce</div></div> <hr>------------------------<br>
