John Deere 4115 Fuel Tank Pickup Problem

[winogregorio]

Anyone familiar with the JD 4115 fuel tank? Seems the pickup and return lines both enter through the top. The pickup is no longer getting fuel. I blew some air in the line but did not hear or see bubbles. Just a rush of air. Is there a rubber hose connecting the nipple on the top of the tank to the pickup at the bottom? It does not look like the tank is serviceable in any way. $300 plus over a week to get a new one. There has to be a way to fix this.

Never mind. Figured it out. The parts diagram is not good enough to show the pickup on the bottom. I found it after tearing out the tank. The valve on the return is another misleading item that made me think it was a pickup and not a second return. Oh, well, I gave the tank a good cleaning and it is running again.
