We have not (to my knowledge) checked the tank screen. The banjo/check valve is being overnighted and hopefuly will be here early enough today to be installed. I will post when I have anything more. Thanks for the help so far.
If they are replacing the banjo bolt make sure they put a new o-ring and 2 new crush washers on it when the install the new one. Common sense would dictate they would without having to be told so but lots of techs lack common sense.

If they are quoting $1300 for that little lift pump then I'd probably start looking for another shop. I haven't priced it specifically but I'd be shocked if the list price on it exceeded even 10-20% of what they quoted. It's nothing more than a mechanical plunger arrangement bolted to the side of the IP...
