Sorry to yell...you will most likely get more problems is you don't clean your tank. Most likely its coated on the bottom w/ a thick varnish paste. Remove the gas tank and take it to a radiator shop. Good ones will clean your tank. You may choose to seal it or not. I have not. Then take a really long piano wire or mig wire and loop the end to create a rooter like device. Run the wire up the gas line until you reach a snag. attach a drill to the wire and rooter the gunk/rust away.
By the way, my heads were ruined because the varnish from the tank made the valves stick.
