I think I misintrepreted this earlier. Let me try again....  ;-)

There is only one sock, on the tank outlet; not on the return. The sock does 
not attach to anything that sticks up in the tank (there's nothing on EITHER 
side for it to grab on to.). Instead it is inserted from the outside, so you have 
to remove the alum hex fitting from the outlet nipple to get it out. I still think it 
sits pretty low in there, but it is certainly true that this is a real challenge for 
anyone's depth perception, including mine.

Usually, because of the sock, you really can't see the fuel outlet opening 
from above, but it is possible for the bottom part of the sock to get clogged 
with something and keep gas from getting in once the gas fell below a 
certain level.

Have you really removed and cleaned the sock?
