FWIW: One Method for "Safe" Rust Particle and Debris Extraction:

The older model vacuum cleaners had exposed internal electrical sparks that could dangerously ignite fuel fumes extracted from a fuel tank.

"If" one already has an air compressor, one can get a syphon blast gun for about $30.00 at Northern Tool to "safely" extract rust particles out of one's Model A gas tank.

The air compressor blows air across a plastic tube to create a venture effect which creates a vacuum in a second tube whereby the fuel fumes are only exposed to harmless air.

Doesn't matter if one has hand grenades and DET Chord in the tank ..... harmless procedure.
