Frank would fill it with water, so no fumes were able to be trapped inside. Then bring it to a slow boil in a BBQ grill to loosen the sludge on the bottem

<br class="">
<br class="">
<div class="" dir="ltr">
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.
