ABSTRACT:
A fluid pick up device for removing fluid from storage tanks includes an intake, a submerging member that maintains the intake submerged in the fluid, and a float that enables the intake to move in relationship to the level of fluid. The submerging member can include an extension communicating with the intake. The extension can be an adjustable arm connected to a delivery member by a swivel joint. A stopping member can control the arm's range of motion. The intake is angled downward, and the length of the arm is set to prevent the intake from passing into a contaminated volume of fluid near the tank bottom. The intake can also be movable. The adjustable arm can retract into the delivery member.
