Hopefully this is an easy answer. I have a B28 with a single fiberglass tank. At the fuel pick up point in the tank, is there any tipe of debris filter? I am troubleshooting a fuel problem and don't want to pull it if it is an unfiltered hose in order to check it. Thanks.

Hookshurt,

Around the bronze pipe pickup, there is a fine screen brazed on. You can pull the pickup out of the tank and clean it. I did mine, but you should pull it out gently so stuff doesn't fall off of it, it was pretty clogged with varnish and stuff. I used a brush and a cleaning solution, but you could probably use soap and water if you make sure it is good and dry when you put it back.

Thanks for the info. There is a cork gasket there, is that something that is fairly easy to find or should I go to one of the online retail outlets for the hard to find parts?

Yup, and will probably look something this one out of a B31...

NAPA sells cork sheeting, you'll have to make your own...

Much thanks to you guys for helping!!!

Forget pulling the plate. Unscrew the pickup from the plate and lift right out.

Got'a pull the plate on the 31. Baffles and dead rise of the tank are in the way... 28 may have a straight pipe, don't know.

28 is a straight pipe and all one has to do with it is have a large socket or cresent wrench to unscrew it.
