Fuel tank pick up

panteradougMember

Working on my fuel line that is built into the fuel tank.
Apparently I have holed through on the line inside the tank and need to replace the line and the gauge sender with the newer type. That certainly is the easiest fix.

Question: Looking at the top of the existing fuel tube as it is built into the tank, I have what appears to be something like 1/8" opening inside of the tube?

Was this tank built with a tiny id tube or am I looking at some sort of a flared seat on the tube to mate to the banjo fitting bolt? I don't understand what I am looking at?

Is this a steel tube welded to the tank and it has rusted through in one spot?

I first thought that I could insert another tube in this one, but it is so small, there would be no fuel flow at all?

Anyone out there been through this already? Bosswrench? Someone? This is weird.

I'm definitely going to install a new pick up/sender unit but inquiring minds need to know?
