Just a warning: Just because you check the gascolator screen doesn't mean 
you're home free. The much worse problem would be a big piece (flake) of 
sloshing compound draping  itself over the pickup tube/mesh inside the tank. 
Now that you're only pumping from your left tank, that's a much bigger 
problem.
Presumably, turning off your pumps and vigorously rocking the wings could 
dislodge it, but not a recommended practice during take-off :)
