I have been getting problems with blockages at the bottom of the diesel fuel standpipe in my IP380. I have had the tank cleaned, but there are still small amounts of bug residue. The clearance between the bottom of the pipe and the tank bottom must be too small. I removed the fitting at the top of the pipe, expecting the standpipe to be attached to it, but this is not the case. It seems to be attached to the welded fitting at the top of the tank. Does anyone know how or if the standpipe can be removed (so I can shorten it by a small amount).?
