I thought the same thing Phat which is why I tried and tried to get the spring back in there. However, the issue was happening well before I ever removed the spring. Also, like I said the pickup is rigid enough I do not see how it could collapse.
I'd buy a new pickup with a spring in it...........if I knew where the heck to find this type of pickup tube. Land of Misfit Pickup Tube Store?

I'd be scared sending an electrical item into your fuel tank.
Could you just disconnect your pick up and put a new one in somehow? Seems like that would be the KISS way to do it. Make one out of a piece of fuel line, put a nipple on the end to give it some weight, hose clamp some type of screen to the nipple. If you even want a screen.

Yeah Bradford, not a problem to replace the pickup tube. I can do that but don't see much reason to replace it since this one looks fine, to me anyway.
Reminds me, there is a brass nipple on the end of the pickup for weight. Forgot about that.
