You'd be surprised how much crap can come out of a gas pump. I learned the hard way by not changing the fuel filter on a beater car of mine for over with 100k miles. Eventually the fuel filter plugged and killed the fuel pump by over stressing it. Also, I looked in my portable gas can that fills my lawn mower. I empty it out in the winter and there was some debris on the bottom. I've only filled it twice ever ~5 gallons. I made sure it was clean beforehand, and I am very clean when I fill. Little chance I introduced the debris when corking/uncorking it.


This all makes me a bit nervous as my 02 S doesn't have a user serviceable fuel filter...
