Fuel pick up tube

[5tonman1971]

Ok so I had my primary fuel filters go under a vacuum again so this time I tried pulling my pickup tube uot to see if it was clogged and of coarse it wasent so now I'm very confused but this is not my problem while I was taking out the pick up tube my buddy slipped the wrench on the 90 degree fitting coming from the tank to the fuel suction line and he mashed the threads from tweaking the 90 the threads on one side have been mooshed in and now I can not thread my tube in.

Is the 90 and pick up tube replaceable or should I get a die set big enough to clean up the threads?

Sure, blame it on your buddy.

No insight?

Just go down to one of those parts places and get a new one.

Replace it, But you will have to put the pickup tube on the inside of it. Not sure if the A2's are the same as the A1"s,
But the pickup tube is soldered to the 90 degree part on the inside of the tank.

You can remove the fitting and use a small die grinder removing the first 1-2 threads in that area until the hard line will start again. It does not seal on the threads, It seals on the inverted flair down deep in the fitting. As long as it tightens up good and firm it will work just fine.

The 90º is soldered to the base plate. So you either need to find a tap to chase the threads, or get a new mounting plate.
