For starters I am surprised your tank does not have a drain.
I had to get a new sending unit which is the later style with a built-in 1/4" fuel pick-up line. My plan is to use the stock 1/4" line and join it together with the new 1/4". I don't have the fittings yet so I can't tell you how it works yet....just my idea for now.
Jason Eaton fabricated a nice fuel pick-up. You can see it on his website.
