  Most models actually allow you to remove the sender/
pickup completely from the tank without removing the 
tank.   Seems it'd be worth pulling it, plugging the lines and 
putting a mitee vac to the other end and checking for leakage.
  An electric pump might fix the symptom but it doesn't cure 
the problem.  Eventually it would turn into a fuel leak.
  Pulling the sener will make peering into the tank easier.
