wonder no one has came up with a external fuel filter bypass like the well known mod for suzuki motorbikes, people refuse to pay 500-700 bucks for the intank high pressure fuel filter and we also have the tea bag under the pump thats also get very dirty

thats not the internal filter that is just a strainer on the inlet of the pump, the internal filter is what surrounds the pump within the module before it exits the module, filter is after the pump to stop the smaller stuff getting to the injectors, strainer stops the larger stuff getting into the pump itself, if ur getting that stuff in your tank then i go to a different servo or use a cleaner fuel

Fuel pump is always sucking from the bottom, no matter how much fuel there is in the tank.
You just don't want to run the pump to much on a near empty tank, as it can heat up the pump and possibly could cause premature failure.
