Or when you drive on empty too many times. You can pick up any sediment that may be in the tank.

No, just depressurize it. That happens when you take it off.

Make sure and have a big rag handy when you remove the bolt to depressurize it because it will spew a good amout of fuel. Should take about 15-20 minutes or less.
