Dan, I am a professional scientific glass worker and wanted to let you know that you are causing your own problems. By using a metal screw driver to scrape the sediment bowl you are scratching the inside surface. Any scratches you make on the surface are "user" created flaws. These flaws weaken that area of the glass, especially when gasoline is allowed to soak into the scratches. We cut glass by scoring it, and a good glass worker will also introduce a solvent to weaken that point even more before applying force to make the glass break. We control scoring to have the glass part crack the way we intend it to. Your repeated scraping has caused your problem. If it is necessary to scrape try a wooden tool, like a popsickle stick. Also, I notice someone uses a scotch brite to clean the glass. This too, will cause scratches on the surface. Avoid any scratching if you want your part to maintain its strength.
