Embodiments of a fluid tank may comprise a suction tube system for use in tanks, particularly in gas stations and backup generator applications. The system includes a flexible, elastic suction tube designed to bend and unbend as fluid levels change within the tank. A float connected to the flexible tube is designed to position the intake above water at the bottom of the tank and in the clean portion of the fluid. The intake is positioned between the terminal end of the float and the flexible tube to maximize fuel purity.
