before he replaces it. clean out the cell. put in new fuel, run pump thru lines into bucket a gallon or 3 of unleaded to a bucket to check for sediment.
Cap the line rerun to fill and shut off full line. let sit a while and rerun thru to see if any sediment comes into bucket maybe even a couple times.thru a screen of some sort might help for a sec. clean t shirt or some sort?
if clean after about 3 or 4 gallons or till cell empty. proceed to refill w favorite blend and fire away.
another idea.
