I just finished repairing the gas tank in my 53 burb. The tank had been damaged right where the pickup tube exits the tank. I won't go into detail on what I did, but as a result of the repair, the original pickup tube was eliminated. I then installed a "truck" gas tank sender unit, with built in pickup tube. This pickup tube exits the wrong direction, toward the frame, due to the screw holes and allows the guage arm to clear the tank wall. I purchased new "bendable" fuel line and re-routed it back to the center and around to the front of the tank.
