I had the same thought about the strainer. My concern there is that the screen is so fine that over time would some sort of residue build up on the screen and clog things up....who knows? I did try cutting up the Scotch-Brite scrubber with some tin snips and didn't like the result. As with the screen, could that stuff become contaminated with some sort of gunk as well over time? I may be overthinking this as well. It's my understanding too that the material was there as an anti-slosh barrier. If some fuel does get in there I too would think that it would evaporate in a short time. What I do know, is that when that thing is unable to vent things get screwed up due to the pressure build up in the tank. I'm leaning toward just installing without any filtering material unless someone out there has had a bad experience by doing so. Hopefully someone will chime in soon, I'm planning on doing the install tomorrow.
