feeling fuelish

After the fuel line incident, I pulled the pickup tube and headed for oreillys. The parts guy finally figured out what was needed and produced this:

The hole for the filter is .03 microns smaller than the tube, so out came the needlenose pliers and it got adjusted to size. When doing this be sure that you don't make the hole too big that it doesn't have friction on the tube, otherwise it falls into the tank and you have to fish it out. Don't ask how I know this.

The filter has a "nipple" on the inside bottom to keep the tube from hitting bottom, I grooved out a couple small sections so it couldn't suck the filter up and shut off the fuel supply.
