Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Tank pickup tube

[Scheibins]

I have had my share LP issues. Just changed it again and I'm getting 14-15 @ idle and 9 @ wot. I know that's not bad, but the last LP did a psi or 2 better when new.

I recently saw a thread "pull the bed or drop the tank" which has got me thinking about checking out the pickup screen. I searched the subject with not much luck. What can be done with this screen? Can you, should you take it out? Clean it? I guess the other guy is doing his today, so I can wait. Just wanted to do it tommorrow.

So has anyone removed their pickup tube screen?

Jay,

Yes I've removed the screen and tested flow with and without it. The factory screen is not a problem with normal fuel but if you have goo growing in the tank it would become a major restriction. The screen should save some wear on your LP and shouldn't be an issue.
