sounds like you have a major problem with the pickup tube going MIA. It should have come out with the elbow. if it were mine i would drain the tank, clean it and possibly replace ALL fittings making sure to get the old tube out. thats just me, that way i KNOW there is no problem with the tank. it not the easy route but in my opinion the right route

Hi nuthinfancy,
I'm thinking there is a pick up tube present because I put a hose to the fitting and blew in and could hear it bubbling, maybe not quite Bob Marley bubbles, but bubbles nonetheless. There is no blockage in the tube at this time.

Also if the tube is simply absent, I would not be able to run 50 miles without a hiccup. It is possible the tube is cracked or broken or missing a screen (silicone got to the fitting somehow).
Obviously there may be more silicone and who knows what other crap, so I'm certainly going have to inspect the tank - just don't want to do it while tuna are still fairly close.

Thanks again.
