The Renu process should be OK if it was sent to a place that is an actual dealer for that process. There is only one place listed in Texas on the gas tank Renu websitehttp://www.gastankrenu.com/ if that is where the tank was done.

There are radiator shops and other places that "renu" the tank as well. Most are reputable, others just do a quick and dirty by not thoroughly cleaning the tank and using an off the shelf sealer hoping that will trap everything left behind. Sometimes those leave a bit to be desired and if that was what was done, perhaps a chunk of the coating has broken off and is causing a problem. A chunk large enough to block the inlet will probably be large enough to require tank removal. Otherwise, many have added an extra filter of the see thru type by the tank to see what's there and for keeping anything out of the pump.

I don't know of any way to rule something like that out now other than a filter or drain the tank & see if anything comes out. If anything does, then depending on what it is, probably only one long term solution. If the drain plug is rusted in tightly, then rather than force that and tempt breaking the bung loose, a tank removal and dumping the gas into a container is the best way.
