Vekke - if you don't think there's sediment building up in your tank, go ahead and drop it once, then drain the fuel from it. You'll think differently. The "sock" filter on the fuel pump isn't designed to remove ultra small particles... that's what the fuel filter under the hood is for... and even it doesn't remove anything truly fine. If the fuel pump didn't pick up dirt and sediment, you wouldn't need a fuel filter under the hood to protect the injectors.
