Time for a tank de-crapping when you have opportunity. That stuff is still in there, with nowhere else to go.

Congrats on finding & fixing.

Good to know ... I just don't like it when people say I've fixed the problem but don't say how and never hear from them again. It just helps out other when you go back and search for things.

I know what you mean. I blame myself for the fuel line pinched. I was kinda in a rush at the moment and it was getting dark. Ill be sure to check something like that againe. All i can say is you learn from ur mistaked or someone elses

Easy to do on the SA's; the plumbing back there is a little convoluted, & your hose lengths have to be just right.
