The pickup pipe installs at the fuel tank and extends into the tank to draw fuel for the heater. Its 26-inch tube can be shortened as required for the tank and installation.

Part 202900202010 has a 2 mm inside diameter and a 1/4-inch NPT connection. It is commonly used in truck heater installations with a suitable threaded tank port or another properly prepared mounting location.

This component can support compatible Airtronic and Hydronic heater installations. BTRAC also uses it as the standard standpipe in applicable heater installation packages.

A complete fuel system may require the 251888800102 fuel-line adapter, 130482 1.5 mm plastic fuel line, 36075300 3.5 mm fuel hose, appropriate clamps and a heater-specific fuel-metering pump.

Always inspect the fuel tank and determine the correct mounting method before installation. Confirm that part 202900202010 is appropriate for the tank, heater and fuel-system configuration.
