can you unscrew fitting, or is there a plug nut on top of it, if you have an antisiphon fitting it might be hard to run a wire down it and clear it out, can you take a picture of your pickup and post it here?
antisiphon  stuck or not might make blowing air down it impossible.
many pickups are removeable.

You might want to get rid of that anti-siphon barb (not necessary on O/Bs) and get a Sierra fitting with no anti-siphon...

I would not remove the antisiphon fitting it is required by USCG and ALL gas applications.
