SOLVED Electric Fuel Pump problem?

[Tahoe]

" Car runs when bypassing the internal pick up tube by putting another tube inside the pickup tube". You may well be right re your hypothesis - if so & you have a workaround - why not use that as the fix rather than having to remove & send back the tank ?

Only one problem with that. It has a 3/8 fitting for the fuel pickup and by putting another tube down it you are not sealing the tank up. If I fill the tank all the way up it will spill out that fitting. Now if I could find a fitting that would allow me to put the other tube in and and somehow have it seal the opening I'd be set. Kind of like a cord grip used to seal the wires in a conduit fitting.
