The rust in the tank will collect on the strainer, plugging it. When that happens, air will get sucked in any place you don't have a vacuum proof seal in the suction lines. You may have the air leak fixed, but I'd bet you will still get fuel starvation.

You will probably need to clean and coat the tank, or replace it.
