How about another pick up question.
Just got my 95 Scout Dorado out last month from 1 1/2 years in storage with 1/2 tank of fuel. Tried to get gas out my siphon etc. with no luck. Ran down problem to tank pick up. Took the fitting out ( it's 2" under the deck) and that was all that came off just the aluminum 3/8 x 1/4 npt 90 degree fitting. After looking into the tank at the spot where the fitting screws into the tank (had to bore a 1 1/2" hole in the deck), there is nothing except a square end thick aluminum pipe that fills the entire hole under the threads. This pipe has a hole in it that looks to be about 3/8. There is not a sign of a tube, a fitting or anything. I can see that the pipe in the tank curves toward the center of the V tank. I called Scout to find out if there is anything unique about the pick up; they don't know, but ordered a new pick up one month ago. It still has not come in. I just ordered a 24" generic hoping to make it work. Has anyone out there see this problem?
