fuel tank parts

Vehicle is a
1985 pickup 4x4
mechanical fuel pump

What I'm looking for is, what I believe is called, the fuel pick up unit that mounts to the fuel tank. I have found many units that have the electronic fuel pump on it. The pics of the unit with the electronic fuel pump show two fuel lines coming out of the top. Mine, again, does not have the electronic fuel pump and has three lines coming out of the top.

My initial thought was to replace the fuel lines, using JB Weld to epoxy them in place but I'd rather find a replacement.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Finding one of those used is gonna be tough to find. If ur really hard up for one check at a Toyota dealership, they may still have some parts in stock. That's where I found one for mine, mine's fuel injected tho.

Kinda figured that. I'll have to do some checking around. Do you know the actual name of this part?
What do you think of my JB Weld idea?

Not sure of the technical name. Fuel tank pickup maybe. Mine was rusted out and the po tried jb weld and it was def not working. If u can find a used one you'd be much better off. Pretty sure I paid $100+ for mine but I had to have it.

Sounds good on the pics.
What are they worth? How's 'bout 10 bucks (haha).
Not sure, to tell you the truth. All depends on condition.
Look forward to seeing the pics.
Regards

I was wrong. I have a piece with 2 lines not 3. What is the third line on yours? Mine has a vent in the top of the tank. That's why mine only has 2 lines.

Hey 1980:
Sorry for the delay in responding. Been tied up lately, work, snow,work, snow, etc., etc.

The third line, I believe, is a vent also. It only protrudes down a little past the bottom of the plate. The other end connects to rubber fuel line and goes up toward the engine somewhere. Haven't had the time to trace it out yet. My oldest son said I might not even need it, depending on where it goes and what it does. Might be for some emission control crap.

Until I have some time to look into it I really don't know if I want to take a chance and buy the two tube unit. I'll have to let you know.

Again, thanks for the communication.
