Moeller Threaded Flexible Fuel Pick-Up Tube, 12 in., Part 033500-12

The Moeller 033500-12 is a threaded flexible fuel pick-up tube built to draw fuel from a boat's fuel tank and deliver it to the engine's fuel line. It threads into the tank fitting using a 3/8 in. NPT connection and terminates in a 1/4 in. NPT barb fitting for attaching the fuel hose. The pick-up tube measures 12 in. In length, sized to reach the bottom of shorter fuel tanks while leaving clearance above sediment or debris that may settle at the tank floor.

Construction pairs an aluminum fitting body with 3/8 in. ID chemical resistant nylon tubing, giving the assembly resistance to the fuels and additives it will be exposed to in continuous service. An internal flexible spring runs through the tubing, helping the pick-up tube keep its shape and resist kinking or collapsing as it flexes with tank movement and vibration. The unit is OEM certified, meaning it meets the same threaded fuel pick-up specifications used in original equipment fuel tank installations.

This pick-up tube is a straightforward, drop-in style replacement for boat owners rebuilding or repairing a fuel tank fitting, and it is built to the same 3/8 in. NPT thread and 1/4 in. NPT barb pattern as the OEM threaded fuel pick-up design, so it installs using the same tank port.
