Re: Cleaing out a Model A gas tank
As a decent temporary fix, you can get a couple of powerful magnets. Just climb under the dash and put a few of them right on the tank in ring around the fuel valve. The larger pieces of rust will be attracted to the magnets and avoid clogging the fuel outlet. The sediment bowl will take care of the smaller pieces.
I like the 'pencil filters,' but they can block the last pint or so of fuel if you are running low. Also, using the magnets doesn't require draining the tank.
Do a Google Search for "neodymium magnets."
