Now just imagine what the filter on the end of the pickup inside the tank
looks like!
I have a theory for you. If you remember my earlier description, the filter
is not serviceable. You may be able to pull the sender, and reach in with a
long tool and tear the internal filter apart (it is a plastic screen like
the universal glass filter types). After doing this I would put a large
filter before the pump. This may save you from having to open the tank up
to get at that filter. Or you could just buy a new tank for the $180US or
whatever going rate is now. Lastly, a radiator shop can boil it out, but I
don't know how well that would work, perhaps they could advise you.
good luck
