Moss Motors sells a slushing agent; a 3-step deal where you pour assorted
potions into your tank, which progressivly remove rust, clean tank, and
seal tank- I've never tried it but it's supposed to work.
Get more info from their flyers/catalogs :-)
Myself I removed the tank and put a bag o' marbles inside and shook the
rust out of it. Then when I redid the fuel line I stuck it in about an
inch past the olive(compression) fitting. This puts the pickup 3/4" above
the fitting.
It still got clogged up but just will small stuff. I have a glass bowl
filter and a small particle filter.
