No TSB for this as age is the culprit....replacing the sending unit (or just
the lines if you feel lucky) is the fix.
On the tank debris...you'd be surprised what we've seen in the tanks around
here (dirty fuel, people leaving their caps off, disgruntled
boy/girlfriends).

Is there a TSB for this issue? If so, it should have a list of parts to
replace, correct?
I've never found any more than a thin film of dust at the bottom of one of
these newer plastic tanks. The older steel tanks, however, can truly be a
rusty mess.
