Does the line pickup line in the tank have a check valve in it. I'm trying to clean the line and can't blow nor get a piece of wire through it. The tank had some junk in it but was in fairly good shape. I also put 100 LB psi through it, no luck. I'm attempting to work the line from the outside in (reverse of the way the gas would go). | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy Jrpontiac, all the tanks I've been involved with have had nothing but an open connection in them, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 | Lots of pick up tubes had a screen soldered to them to keep from sucking trash. If the gas in the tank evaporated the screen could be blocked with shellac. If it were mine I'd pull it out, clean and inspect it.

Pickup top was just clogged, cleaned it out with choke cable housing attached to my drill. Welded up hole and am good to go. | | |
