What George described is a "clunk" pickup, I agree that it's the simplest and best for what you need. Great in planes, Off-road, anywhere there isn't a constant bottom for the fuel tank. I bet the factory setup was about the same, they may have had a filter on the end but your running an in-line anyway, right? I would use Neoprene line since it's more flexible. I'm no expert on these pickups, but what I have set up, I leave enough line for it to sit just beyond the middle of the bottom, and so it can move side to side with the fuel as well as front to back. The challenge will be getting a good seal where the line passes through the tank, you may need to find a rubber grommet that fits the fuel-line you use tightly, (don't forget it will be tighter once installed) and you may need to re-size the hole in the tank for the grommet. Of course if your lucky the tubing you use will be a tight fit on it's own, I never seem to get those breaks, though!
