[miklzlx]

Anyone know how to fab a pick up for my fuel tank, or a page that shows how to. Its for my 89 5.0 that ive converted to Carb, i really dont wanna shell out the $100 for a new one when i know you can make one, just dont know how, im always lookin to save money when i can. Thanx in advance.

The cheapest is to remove the fuel pump and simply put a piece of rubber fuel line in its place that reaches the bottom of the tank.

I am trying to figure out how to do this, but for a mostly track car, so I decided on sumping the tank or a fuel cell.

The aftermarket pickups seemed like a good solution. I am not fond of halfway measures in gas tanks.

The rubber line trick works just fine. If you really want, you can use a piece of 3/8" steel or aluminum line and join it all together with a small piece of rubber hose.

You can also braze a piece of metal line on to it.

i bought a pick up for mine. didn't think it was 100 bucks. it has no provision for the electric pump on it. anyways the extend via rubber line would work nicely.
