store your bicycle pump in your car, so if you get strainer clog, you can blow it out with it. Mine fits right on the pre filter. When you hear bubbles in the tank you know you have succeeded. Bleed the air with your thumb pump and you should be fine for a while, until you can get it cleaned.

But still, what size wrench is it to remove the strainer?
anybody?
