Kevin, I don't want prophesy (doom and) destruction but scratch my head with a view to the coarseness of the dirt. Such a large amount of rust rather asks for a conical strainer than a filter. The job of a filter is it to filter and not to sift. I'm afraid that you will have again to clean the tank. My guess is that the muriatic acid made its job but it hasn't succeeded to get the rust out of the tank.
Another issue are the microparticles. Even the fine meshed filters e.g. cigarette filters fail and have a lifetime of only five minutes.
Once I picked up a Chaika and after 30 miles the rust forced me to clean the retrofitted electrical fuel pump. I had no work light, the night was cold, you know what I'm talking about (no, I wasn't barefoot
).
I got the pump out of the car and cleaned it by every trick of the book. Additional I have cut the fuel pipe and installed an in-line fuel filter. Two months later I again disassembled the pump to check its membrane. The in-line fuel filter was fawn and the pump was well filled with brown powder.
