True that the heavier, larger particle size crud will sink to the bottom and won't get past the pump's prefilter. But since the pickup is located at the lowest point in the tank, why would any rust particulates suspended in the fuel - the small stuff that can pass the pre-filter easily and give the fuel a rusty color - not make it to the main filter?
