Just make sure you fill up your tank once it gets down to the 1/4 mark.
Oh really?? Links?

Glad to hear that everything worked out fine for you. Spoke with our tech's in the shop about running the tank to empty and they say the pick up sits about a 1/4 inch off the bottom of the tank. Unless you put the junk into your tank, you will probably never run an issue of it getting into the fuel filter.
