Boat Marine Fuel Tank Pickup 12" x 3/8 ID Pickup Tube with 1/4" NPT Aluminum Fitting

My son and I are putting back together a mid-80s Larson boat with an inboard Mercruiser 140. It has a gas tank in the floor just in front of the motor and we needed to replace everything. The old pickup tube had crumbled away and without the old tube I had to find a complete replacement. I pushed the in-tube screen up about 5 inches using the eraser end of a pencil like the instructions said and cut about 4 inches off of the tube. I put a notch on the end of the tube like it had before and it threaded right into the newly cleaned aluminum tank with some teflon tape on the threads. I also bought a thread in adapter for the output and hooked up a new fuel line and filter and after adding in a new sending until it's finally ready to go back in. This is an old carbureted motor so no ethanol. I'll revise this review if it doesn't last.Link to output I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0195V43V6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1Plews & Edelmann Amflo 406 Brass Hose Barb Fitting - 3/8" Hose ID x 1/4" Male NPT, 1 Pack

Good product at a great price.

It works and it was just like the one that came out of the tank. Just too long a delivery time.

Great

Bought because my husband needed it. He was pleased with it.

Far better than the plastic model the stretches and then leaks. I could not install this aluminum model in my Atwood tank till I used a fostner bit to enlarge the hole just below the thread of the tank.Now it works great!

Bring life back into your vintage boat. Ethanol ruins the plastic and then air gets into fuel system. Wish they noted a fuel screen was built into this kit... was a great surprise

I could only use the plastic tube for my 1988 Mercury 2-stroke gas tank. The threaded metal fitting wasn't compatible but the plastic tube diameter was perfect. I worked it on the old tank fitting and it got my Merc going again.
