I would suggest that you have the tank cleaned with some type of chemical, either take it to a radiator shop and have it done, or do it yourself. Just hosing it out is not going to get the job done. Here's a suggestion to prevent future trouble. Install a short piece of steel fuel line into the inlet of the sediment bowl assembly. This piece needs to rise above the inlet 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch, and then attach a cylinder made of fine mesh brass screen to the top of the steel line. JB weld will hold all of it in place, just be careful that the JB does not get into the inlet. You will end up with a small amount of fuel in the bottom of the tank that you can never use, but this is where the rust and crud will settle, and will never plug up the flow of fuel again.
