    I have a 95 intl 9600 coe. pick up tube, or stand pipe, not sure of proper name, but tube is cracked & air is being sucked in with fuel. I ordered a new one from dealer. how do I remove old tube out from tank. it is black, plastic, found piece of plastic stuck in brass elbow at fuel tank.

    Hi heavy, on the top of the tank, there should be a cover, kind of like the fuel gauge, with the fuel line going into the tank. Years ago, the stand pipe was metal, and would corrode, which is why, I think, they went with a plastic one. Not sure why the plastic one would deteriorate, but apparently, it does. The reason for a stand pipe, is so fuel isn't sucked off the bottom of the tank, where moisture and dirt usually lie. The only problem with a stand pipe, I think, is if you run real low on fuel, which you shouldn't be doing anyway, you can suck air, losing the prime, and maybe that's happening now with yours coming apart. When you replace the tube, take the line off at the pump, and fill it with fuel, as I don't think a fuel pump will suck up the fuel on it's own. Good luck.

    on my tank. there is the fuel line going to the front top of tank to a brass elbow which is screwed into the tank. when I take the brass fitting out, there is the tube. there is no cover on tank. besides this line, there is a fuel return line & the sending unit that is wired to dash gauge for fuel level info. the tube has no choice but to come out of where it is. not sure if it it just stuck from pressure of being in there so long, or if I need special tools. I hope I do not have to replace fuel tank.
