Its usually the fuel filler neck that rusts and deposits rust in the tank. As you drive the rust gets stuck to the filter in the tank and blocks the flow of petrol. Some people remove the filter in the petrol tank by first removing the sender unit at the top of the tank to gain acces to it then break it off. You need to remove the back seat first though. Then you can just ensure you change the inline filter in the engine compartment at regular intervals say once a year.
Hope this helps you.
