Carl, unless you got a lot of sediment or anything else floating around in your tank, the screen shouldn't be blocked up. If your Fuel pressure is reading normal then chances are you're alright. Now if the pump was straining away and you weren't getting any pressure then I would suspect a blocked pickup.

Yea thats the screen I was thinking about, but the pump is located inside my tank on the jeep. THis is not a jeep forum so this dose not matter.
