Bruce,
The only way I have heard of is to pull the filter off by whatever means
possible and then use an in-line filter in the engine bay where it is
easier to reach.
I have also thought that a good reversed flow of kerosene or a fairly
high pressure air line may do the trick but I've never tried that.
Best of luck,
Guy R Day

Subject: [Spridgets] Repairing old fuel tank
Has anyone had success cleaning the take-up tube on original Bugeye fuel
tanks? Mine is completely plugged. I've looked at the 'sock' covering
the pickup tube, visible through the sender unit hole. It appears to
have a latex coating on it. Needless to say, the pump cannot draw gas
up through the tube. Any hope of repairing it? I can't figure out how
to reach the filter.
Bugeye in St. Louis
