Fuel Pick Up Screen Removal/Replacement
I've cleaned and removed rust from my fuel tank, and I'm ready to paint inside and out with KBS Rust Seal. They make a kit for coating the inside, but I've discovered a problem.
There is a screen on the end of the fuel pick up line in the tank. When I coat the inside of the tank, this screen will get covered and clogged by the paint. I don't see any way to remove the screen, because there's no good access to it.
Anyone every remove or replace these? Can you describe how it's done? I saw a part number for this screen listed in another thread, which leads me to think there is a way.

It's an 83' which is SA I believe. As far as I can tell, there's no way to remove the tube. The only visible way to access the screen is through the hole where the sending unit mounts.

Just found RE-Speed's comment under his replacement fuel tank thread.
"The stock ones are all one piece with the tank and none of it is removable."
So unless there's a clever trick someone's come up with for replacing it, I'll have to figure out a way to cover the screen so no paint gets in it during painting.
