He says (at 6' 25") that before this flight, he had to sump each tank 4-5 times before he got fuel without debris. This apparently after work on the fuel system - fitting the tip tanks.

But he describes some debris in fuel as 'somewhat normal' and he still went flying?

Does that make sense? I have never seen 'particles' in fuel when sumping and would be very alarmed if I did.
