I don't see why anyone wouldn't change out their $15 fuel filter after the first 1k miles to address this known issue to stop any possible injector clogging.  |
if your gas tank has always been kept full so moisture doesn't get in there and cause things to rust, then there won't be any "crud" in the gas tank to worry about.
hell, my car sat for 13 years outisde in MN with all the temp and other climate changes that come with this area with 1/4 tank of gas in it before i got it, and i've never had any problems with clogged filters or pickup socks. if ever there was a car that should have junk in the tank, it's mine.
