I also learned that mechanical fuel pumps aren't made to pull fuel through a filter, only push it.


I would disagree, if the filter isn't clogged, it should be able to pull through the filter just fine. If it doesn't, you have a marginal pump.

The eastwood kit is only going to work if you can get the inside of the tank surgical clean and etched properly. There was so much crud in my tank that even multiple acid treatments couldn't get the tank clean enough. So I just had the Renu process done on it. They media blasted the tank inside and out, and baked on the sealer. Pricey yes, but great peace of mind to know you are going to get stranded somewhere.

As a side note, the Renu guys charge extra to remove failed DIY sealer from the tank.
