Found these bits of plastic in my gas tank when changing out my fuel pump this weekend. There were a lot of small ground up pieces of plastic. The long skinny piece in the pic was from the gasket, not sure about the other parts. Couldn't tell if that came off of the old pump (OEM) or not. Any ideas?

2000, 2.5, manual, 19 gal.

Might be part of the (roll over) protection. Use a mirror and flash light to look at the hose connectors on the inside.
 
Ya, I checked them when I dropped the tank but no damage. The Jeep has had a few previous owners AND a branded title due to a crash. The last owner was a buddy of mine who fixed her up real good (but didn't need to drop the tank). After talking to a few folks, only thing we could come up with was one of the rollover valves may have been damaged then replaced at some point, but the tank was never cleaned out??? Mystery.
