But then how do you get it out of the tank? The rust particles will build up in that spot but somehow need to be removed. Personally, I place a round rare earth magnet in the float bowl. This sees all the gasoline, not just that that happens near the spot, can be easily monitored, and then can be cleaned and removed.
