I am dealing with a water issue I believe to be a bad gasket at the pickup side of the tank. im beginning to pump my FULL tank and Im just curious if that will get most of the water out before I take the access cover off.

I totally blew it a few years ago when I had the floor up and did the fuel hoses. But anyway, it turned out to be the gasket. Interesting thing was after removing tank hatch with the pickup tubes, i looked into the tank and saw the two screened filters which attach at the end of the pickups on the bottom of the tank perfect and looked like they had never been installed.
