If it is the suction screen in the tank what's the fix? Does the tank have to come out to be cleaned?

Did you check the fuel pressure at the tee? If you got anywhere near the proper pressure there, fuel is not your problem. Yes, the return from the regulator will flow a lot less than an open pump. After you get the engine started, check the pressure again with the engine at various speeds. It will be obvious if the pump can not keep up. Usual restriction is in the suction screen in the tank.
