I would think that there really wouldn't be a crud issue unless the crud
floats. If the intake of the pump is near the bottom of the tank, then it
should be sucking up just as much crud regardless of how much fuel is in
the tank. The only way that makes sense is for floating crud to get sucked
in when it finally comes down to the intake level. This makes sense to me,
any reason why it wouldn't work this way?
On another note, has anyone found a reasonably cheap or HP / HD fuel pump
for the Gen 2 Daks? I'm thinking that it might be a good idea to replace
the one on my '94 if I ever get my body lift done.
