I would disconnect the line from the tank to the fuel rail and pump out all the fuel in the tank into a gas container, then drop and clean the tank. You don't want that crap getting into your rail or injectors. Then I would put a new sock on the pump, new filter, and then when you fill the tank dump a bottle of techron in it.
