Well, it would take solids of various sorts to plug the filter. If there was some debris in the bottom of the tank, certainly either the pick-up flilter(s)(attached to each pump) or the inline filter (on the frame rear of the RF wheel well) could become blocked.

As for the different current readings, assuming proper connections, the normal draw is 8-10A, divided between both primary and secondary pumps when both are under load (pumping fuel). (IDK what the current might be if they are not immersed in fuel.)
