T550 Fuel Pickup Location - help, I can't find it!!!

[twentythreemx]

I believe I'm suffering from a fuel starvation issue, most likely the fuel pickup it sounds like. I lifted up the cab, looking from both sides, I found the sensor and the return line, but I can't for the life of me even SEE the pickup much less attempt to actually pull it out.

According to a parts diagram its kind of almost in the middle of the tank. No way I have to pull a motor to access this, right?

IS there anyone out there that has pulled the pickup line on a T550? Can you please point me in the right direction? I hope I was just blind and looking at it again tomorrow it will jump out at me.

try using compressed ait and clear the line before the fuel bulb
