redneck fuel system

Not to be out done by sombrero man, I have been working on my own fuel system. So far tonight I have got my pickup for the tank fabed up. I as wanting a big screen on the pickup to prefilter the fuel, yet still not suck air before the tank is empty.
My pickup is a 100 micron screen the size of a coke can with a 3/4" pipe fitting on top. It has a bypass on the bottom if the screen gets plugged. It is inside a 20oz can of pineapples that I stole from my wife. A little JB weld and a washer, and it looks pretty good in my Jeff Foxworthy view of the world.
This is the second time Ive re-engineered the fuel module. The first time I had the can rip off where it screwed on the cap. I fixed it then with -6 aeroquip AQP and it was still in good shape when I took it off. I am now going to have one strip of the metal part hanging down to mount the sender on and the strainer will be sitting on the bottom of the tank on a stiff -8 TFE hose.
