You could probably open the drain valve and spray it out with carb cleaner or something like that. Just make sure all the gunk flushes out.

i open the drain valve and turn the key on with the old filter in because the fuel pressure out the valve will get rid of any junk in there but i connected a 5/16? gas line in the short metal piece so that fuel doesnt get everywhere and i can catch it in a drain pan
