After diagnosing a power loss problem to the fuel pickup tube being clogged, I tried to pull it to inspect / replace it. I unscrewed the fitting on top of the tank and started pulling. Since there's not clearance directly above, had to pull at a slight angle leading the polyethylene tube to detach from the fitting and fall back into the tank.
I now need to replace the tube, which there's no way of retrieving. It would go where the black fuel line is in the photo (hopefully attached to this post). I rigged that temporarily to draw fuel from a backup fuel tank. And it goes in the hole where the cork is temporarily.
The outside diameter can't exceed 14mm or about 9/16". The interior diameter seems like 5/16" as that's the size of the temporary fuel line in the photo.
The boat is a 1995 Hunter 336 with a Yanmar 3GM30F. There is also (hopefully) a photo of the fuel tank rating plate.
Any suggestions on where to source or how to make a replacement pickup tube?
Thanks!
