Why bother with the screens in the tanks anyway. Contaminants, water etc should be bled from the tank drains and/or the gascolator all which are accessable. Most carb'd engines have a screen there also. Tank Screens seem to be an overkill to me and present real problems to clean if they do plug, which is in my estimation very unlikely. A more real problem with some LN2's is the connection and orientation of the fuel line fitting coming out of the tank, it can bind on the fulislage outboard rib if not relieved properly.
