It's not all uncommon to remove the pump bowl and find it completely chocked full with rust and crud. Those pumps with the steel bowl and thru-bolt are often the worst offenders. The inner surface of the bowl is sometimes so corroded (consequence of moisture in the gas) that it should be coated before replacing.
