Mine probably has trash in it too and I'll put filters before the fuel selector in both tank lines now and replace the pump.

There are any number of failure modes in any number of devices that could be disaster. And any device can fail at any time, regardless of reliability. Our job is to have a plan B. With a typical Lyc installation, the Facet is plan B. For its failure to be a disaster, you'd need a failure of the engine driven pump *and* a failure of the Facet (you test before every flight, right?) *at the same time*. If that happens, I think your number's up.
