From:JordanVw

this is pertaining to a type 4 engined late bus ('72-'79) but is relavent
question to all vehicles.

vehicle has been sitting awhile w/ no gas cap.
there is rust particulate in the bottom of the tank, and it is blocking jets
in the carbs.

what, besides dropping the engine, and pulling the tank, are other ideas?
i was thinking about removing the nut where the fuel line comes out of the
tank, and flushing the tank.
ideas?

thanks.
