Bottom is the factory fuel tank withdraw tube, top is the replacement from Moeller. The problem with the withdraw tube being cut flat is with a poly tank, they flex enough to have the withdraw tube hit the bottom of the tank, thus blocking off fuel flow. Clearing is only 1/4 inch, tank flex can be an inch or more. Also, the new part says the screen is unneccessary, to discard it.
In the automotive industry, we called that a "silent recall" on both counts.

The withdraw tube should always be cut at an angle on poly fuel tanks, if not just for flexing and expansion/contraction in case the tank is where someone can sit on it and block the tube...
Now I hope nothing made it's way to the carb. Unlikely due to the fact there's 2 filters after the failed fuel line.
