Maz is right... Might as well replace the strainer while you have the tank out. Doesnt hurt.

A blob of water in the tank wouldnt cause the fuel filter to be bone dry. It would go right thru.

Also that drain plug is pretty small. Its about the side of the oil drain plug if not a little smaller. I think it would still be better to pull the tank that way you can look inside of it to see what the condition is. I would think it might have rusted on the inside and that it what is stopping up his pick up tube. It would have to be something like that or someone put something in the tank as a joke or whatever.
