Interesting video looking at the impact of rust in a vehicle fuel tank and what it does to your carbs etc. We've all been there with rusty tanks, or a slight film of rust, me in particular.

Take away points from this for me is that iron oxide particles will get past all filters , carb and fuel tap and the risk of seizing due to the impact it has on blocking out air to the mix and seizing risk.
