I just went through something like this about a month ago with a customer's 1971 Volvo 142E has the factory D-jet fuel injection.

The car sat for most of 12 years and the tank was rusty inside and needed to be cleaned and coated. The radiator shop didn't inspect the pickup tube which should be standard operating procedure as it's not hard to do while the tank is being prepped for coating.

I found the problem while trying to install a new in-tank fuel filter that is original to gas tanks for fuel injected 140s. The pickup tube actually broke off and it came out with the filter.
