Something to think about here. When I made my own pick up for the tank I used a liquid applicator screen that is available at any farm store for a few dollars on the end of the tube as a pre-screeen to keep from picking up any sludge from the tank. Acts just like the OEM screen.

Sure is a lot of trash in that fuel. Hope you drained all that out before reinstalling the tank. Nice write up by the way.
