This may offend the purists! On my 1936 tourer, I safely drained the petrol, filled the tank with washing up liquid and water, shook it, bashed it with a stick, then drained it and the 2 lbs of crud that was in it, rinsed it and did it again and again until no crud came out!! I repaired the tank bottom filter and put in a fuel tank sealer from "The Complete Automobilist" and had no more trouble apart from having to reverse blow out the fuel line.
