Unfortunately, I didn't have the camera handy when the screen was out but there are plenty of pics here of a tank screen if you search.
The weird thing with my screen is that it wasn't gunked up at all. However, when I ran water through it, I noticed the water was only coming out on parts of the screen, not through all of it. I held it up to my mouth and blew through the screen and noticed there was some kind of transparent film built up around most of the screen that was preventing fuel from flowing through.
After I cleaned up the screen, I blew out all the fuel lines and ran two cans of diesel purge through the injectors. They were so gunked up, the diesel purge was turning black! The car runs SO much better now. It used to hesitate at higher rpms and even slow down for no reason at higher speeds. Now I know why!
You can buy that special tool here:

It's around $62.
Good luck,
Scott
