I'd replace the fuel pump if he is going to be in there. A FP is $100. If you have returnless 99+ then get the FSVT pump that talked about in the FAQ. There is a sock filter on the pump. Just take that off and clean it with carb cleaner and put it on the new pump. Throw the disc filter in the tank on the neighbors roof.
