I had the car before Tom and it did have fuel in the
tank.  I dropped the tank and dumped the old fuel. 
The tank looked  pretty good with some light powdery
stuff that looked like rust.  Very fine powder, as I
recall.  I did not clean it further.  I think I placed
a new finger strainer type fuel filter over the fuel
pickup and reassembled it with a new rubber fuel line.
 Then it went to Tom some weeks later. 

I'm getting CRS so I better start keeping a log of the
work I do on some of these cars.
