Ross
As you did not build the plane possibly your tank was
sloshed with some type of sealant which you have broken up causing it to
block strainer screen.
Normally looking in filler you will see clean aluminium walls & bottom of
tank
If it has been sealed you will probably need a new tank as I doubt you
will be able to clean it. possibly someone on list can advise.
