Hello Folks.



1979 Chev van , 20 series 3/4 ton

Is " sock filter ' on end of fuel pickup tube in gas tank replaceable, without having to buy new sender unit ?



The old one is on tube tight - I'm reluctant to get too forceful in trying to remove it unless I know for sure it comes off tube - since I will put original sending unit back in if necessary. The existing sock filter has slight degradation where it touched bottom of tank.



Please reply to NG.



Thanks,



-JS
