Vy one tonner
G'day

I just put a new fuel pump and filter in my one tonner, when I removed the pump assembly out of the tank I had a hose inside the tank that seemed to go nowhere. After doing a search I have found that its suppose to have a strainer on the end (refer to picture). I take it it just sits on the bottom of the tank. Does anyone know what the hose does exactly ?

Thanks

should be the fuel pickup to fill the swirl pot where the pump sits in for sender units that don't have the 2 pipe system, the LS motor dead head system only used a fuel deliver pipe on sender unit no return from memory.

Thanks VIN999, Ill have to take the pump assembly out again and see if I can find the strainer in the bottom of the tank. I saw a "flap valve" at the bottom of the swirl pot, I suspect fuel also enter the pot through it, can't think why else it would be in there.

When refitting the fuel pump assembly to the tank, that black hose with strainer is placed into the passengers side cavity in the tank
Basically, it goes over the hump in the tank that clears the tailshaft, and picks up fuel from the passengers side of the tank
There is some more info about it in this thread:
