Filling the tank from anywhere close to empty stirs up anything that shouldn't be in the tank. Could it be the pump was a symptom rather than the root cause? Did you purchase gas at the same place as last time?
It could have been, but the pump screen looked ok, no sediment, and the gas tank looked clean without sediment. I pumped 21.801 Gallons (gotta love my gas tracker log on my iphone) so it wasn't too dry. The pump definitely be the symptom not the root cause, but what can I do? Drop and replace the tank?
