They can be fun i have used the red cote with success. You can drain the tank then put a little standpipe on the inlet of the sediment bowl this will let the small stuff gather at the bottom but not get into the system this has worked. You can flush the tank after a time and flush the bottow and sooner or later it should vlear up. You can also have the tank boiled. Miratic acid will also clean to bare metal but then the tank will need to be coated. Neighbor used carb cleaner says it ended his problem.I cleaned on with a tumbler using soap and some 1/4 nuts that one came out just fine. I also have used the little plastic see thru Fram filters coming out of the sediment bowl placed so you can see when they get plugged as the screen in the bowl does not get the real fine stuff and after a timethe problem is gone. Have one that has been on thre 3-day tractor rides with out any problems so the tank must be clean now. Good luck
