Ok I've decided to try the "California shake"

on my fuel tank to try and get whatever is clogging up my carb (sediment I assume). Anyway, have read all the threads and being new to this whole Model A thing I want to eliminate costly mistakes as I proceed. I have read the mention of putting Acetone, muriatic acid and even water in the tank as a rinse, that all really concerns me--should I go that route or just shake and drain, shake and drain...? Any other helpful tips like best location to open up, equipment, tools etc?
Thank you in advance, Nick
