I had to deal with a contaminated tank once on a new car. I removed it, blasted it with a garden hose on the inside, and dried it well before putting it back in service for a permanent fix.
Not sure...all I know is rust clogged the distributor. The gas was coming out brown and full of particles out of the injector lines. I bet the fuel filter simply split, but I don't just want more rust sitting in the system to simply clog again.
