I once bought a 1947 Mercury pickup that had been sitting for a while and the gas cap was missing. After getting it running the gas line persisted in plugging up. I took the gas tank out to clean it out and retrieved about 2 cupfuls of sand and small gravel, a 1" paint brush and a chunk of rubber weather stripping about 18" long. Truck ran great after that. Easy job removing the gas tank as it was behind the seat.
