A300 plugged fuel pickup.

I have to keep pulling the fuel line loose at the bulb and blow back into the tank to clear the line. Is there a strainer on the end? Anyone have experience on this?

Well I took it in to have a lift cylinder rebuilt that was leaking bad, fix one of the quick attach handles that broke off, fix the fuel strainer, add the 7 pin plug, replace a lift actuator that was going out again, and give her a good bath. $3000 later and seems to be good. Oh yea 1000 hr service. They had to repack the steering knuckles and bearings.

Priced a loaded T770 hi flow, $72k. WOW! Wonder what I could get for my machine? And $4000 for a brush grapple.

I have a 843 that I bought new. Have lots of experience with clogged strainer on the pickup line.
Good idea to clean tank out every few years and I replace all fuel lines every 5 years. I have seen
the rubber fuel lines get soft inside and collapse causing fuel starvation.
