The tanks that pull from the top will usually have a screen or punched plate inside across the tank bottom.

The fuel draw is from above the plate which is hopefully seperateing the fuel from the gunk.

A drain valve (with plug to be more secure) is used below the screen to remove gunk as required.''

This is usually done on boats that do not have room for a proper sump.

Fine for inshore , less so for Blue Water boats.
