Fuel Pick Up Point

The fuel pick up seems to be a bit high on NiGella's tank, she runs out of gas after about 3 gallons, which seems to leave about the same amount (if not more) in the tank
Is it complicated to lower the pick up point?
Thanks

Re: Fuel Pick Up Point

The pick up does sound a bit high - is the pick up pipe mounted in a removable cover? if so its easy to sort out as long as you can get to it.

cheers

Re: Fuel Pick Up Point

Hi
sorry for the delay, been sorting out other things on NiGella.
The fuel pipe is connected to a fixed Brass fitting that is towards the bottom of the tank, it doesnt have a removable cover.
I'm guessing I need to drain the tank remove the brass outlet fitting and see what's inside the tank and re-position?
Any help appreciated
B

Re: Fuel Pick Up Point

Yes it sounds like you have to take a closer look and see what is going on. The other option is to make and fit a new pick up and blank the old one off, just boils down to which is easiest.

Cheers
