It is not the particullates that is restricting the flow but the gum that
the ethanol is washing off ALL sides and top of the tank.
Just replace them all and go for another 10,000 miles.
It will get better and will not have problems later.
Be sure to run down the aux tank also as there are lot of gum there as that
tank selcom gets used up.
