as for the tank I think that you'll have to take it out to drain it and I'm not sure how to empty but give it a good shake. However so long as you're not getting any running problems you could just keep changing the filter until it runs clean, or even put an extra paper filter on the fuel line and change them as they're cheaper.
As for the carb apparently they are a bit prone to running crap and might be worth looking for a replacement/backup.

So many dubs so little time, so much rust

2. buy a new tank and fit that, not sure of cost and where to get one .what do you think?
also tonight found that my speedo has gave up on me , is this a common problem, and any ideas as to which end i start to look at first.
i also have a strange home made clamp on fuel line to the fuel res think this is to back up the pressure, any ideas as to why this is ness.
mot is due soon so need to get these things sorted asap .

Could try to find a good secondhand one (try posting in wanted section) as for a new one
maybe here: http://www.gwentvw.co.uk/
or crazy quiff I'm not sure
with the speedo try looking behind the clocks as the cable either snapps or disconnects at the clocks or at the gearbox
Have no idea about the fuel clamp thing 8O

It sounds like it may be worth your while replaceing it if the rust inside is that bad…
