Hi all,
I am working on my fuel pick up tube, I just want to get a second opinion on what do you think about it. I mess up my first one by closing the pick up end before I hand saw it, hence I can't debur the interior after I hand saw the slots.
The second one came out nicer than the first one, but I am not convince if it is up to standard. I don't know if I cut enough slots or is it too few for it to pick up fuel.
I notice Vans sells a pre-fabricated fuel pick up line, they are very different from the one on the plan, with stainless steel mesh at the end. I wonder if fuel will get pick up at the end of the mesh, since the pick up line is not at the end of the mesh, and will that leave more unusable fuel.
while on the topic of fuel, one very dumb question.... If I fill the tank up, wouldn't the fuel exit via the fuel vent line?
Thanks very much!
Hank
