Is there a way to modify the pickup tube to move it to the back of the tank?

Yeah, I've removed the senders in the past to take the 3/8" pickup out and solder in a new 1/2" tube. At that point you can bend and run the pickup anywhere in the tank you prefer, solder it in place and done.

This was long before anyone offered larger pickup tube senders for a factory setup.

Still a worth while mod if you're trying to maximize a stock mechanical pump setup or help an electric external pump. They all generally like the pickup larger than the feed line.
