The fuel pick up pipe is in the fuel guage sender unit, the pump also was in there before it was relocated to the wheel arch.
Both sender unit/pump types have a fine plastic mesh fitted to the bottom part of it

Access to it is under the rear seat on the drivers side.

I removed mine when the car was 4 years old ad covered around 50k and the strainer was clean.
When refitting dont slide the rubber sealing ring around the pump/sender unit as it wont fit back in, instead place the sealing ring into the tank aperture then slide in the unit and it will fit fine.

Depends on how you use the car, if you regularly refill when at almost empty then you run the risk of the pump sucking up any dirt/crap in the bottom of the fuel tank. This is what I think killed my in tank pump on my 2002 TD4 (twin pumps). I now refill at 1/4 mark now just be extra careful.
Totally different car/tank but my old Alfa 75 fuel tank rusted away at the seam where the halves were welded together - the crap in the bottom of that fuel tanks was scary!

Don't forget the sedimenter that is with the pump/filter unit. It should be drained occasionally.

I did that when I had the whole rear assembly off the vehicle to change the filter. Didn't flush it through though....

Sorry should have explained. The left hand picture is the bowl taken off the bottom of the sender unit. The right hand picture is the strainer that goes inside the left hand bowl. Without explaining myself very well was trying to show what the sender unit looks like when it is taken apart.
