Yes the tank was pretty rusty inside and I had it cleaned and coated with "Red Kote" at H&H radiator and tank repair. They didn't do a very good job the first time around so I took it back and had them redo it. I installed a ball valve at the tank outlet and have a Fram inline filter just after the valve before the line goes over the frame at the rear axle. I installed the valve to permit changing the filter without having to drain the tank. I also replaced (temporarily I hope) the carter fuel filter at the carb with another Fram filter with a clear plastic housing. I had thought of adding another filter just ahead of the pump but, decided it may be too much for the pump to overcome.
If I still have some sediment or ? after cleaning the line I may add the filter and see what happens. If the pump will handle it I'll change filters for awhile and see if it clears up. Heck maybe the ethanol will eat the stuff.
If all of the above fails to fix the problem I supppose I'll try to find some maleable material to replace the line because I don't want to have more inline fittings than what is factory stock.
