My sediments entirely.
I have no idea why there would be more chance of picking up crap from the bottom of the tank when it is empty, the pick up never moves. Any crap has more chance of drifting over to the strainer when the tank is full, as it is fuller most of the time. We have a big filter that comes after the strainer so I see no problem. Changing your filter is a waste of time and money unless you live in the boonies and buy your gas from Gomer's Gas, Grocery and Grits emporium every time. I do not think I have ever seen a problem on this forum from dirty gas causing filter problems. We have had poor gas from the refinery that ruined sensors. There has also been filters in which the pressure regulator has failed this causes problems as well.
See Valks thread on this subject.
