Thing is, other than an occasional overflow, I have not found small amounts of crud to really hurt anything either.

As I think Jonda said, I had ok results with a new glass inline fuel filter connected to my aluminum tank running a nice little aftermarket 1/4 NPT petcock (that has a nylon screen).  There was crap in the tank after 10 cleanings (ugh) and I wanted two shots at catching it.  More than half a tank of fuel - bike ran fine. When it got lower than that, so did the fuel pressure to the carb intake, and on hard acceleration, she ran lean.  So I cleaned the tank more, and dumped that external filter, and no mo prob

 Just a tip, when draining fuel into a can, you can drop a coffee filter in the funnel to catch any debris that comes out.

It can be a fuel thing too, gas stations with dirty fuel. My bike got good fuel all the time, several other European countries included.

I really like that filter setup.  Pretty slick if you ask me.  Where can I get one?
