Umbrella needed?

Ok so.Im stuck @ home Im very to myself & have only my wife&kids as family Im usually good on rides but in 1 week lost 3 vehicles now I bought this truck&itz giving me issuee.I dropped the tank this weekend hoping to find my problem lost a full tank but thats my fault,anyways fuel was clean the umbrella was laying in bottom of the tank.I wasnt able to find a rlde to go piece the parts together to mod the tank.Noway to the bank to deposit any cash but I had enough in there to but the diesel innovations kit&umbrella if needed.Im wondering can I skip the umbrella or delete the pick up all together & if so what should I do?Ive searched but couldnt find a clear enough answer.Thanks.

If you make it longer so its goes to the bottom. Some do this so they never have to go back inside. But use a fuel rail filter to protect the fuel pump.

You can delete the pick-up from the tube, but you need to lower the tube down the same amount so you don't suck air with 3-4" of fuel in the tank.

You can get a new OEM one here FORD Fuel Tank Pickup Foot Original Equipment

You can always use a hose clamp on yours to make it work too.
