Arizona or Michigan, the point is if the vehicle was kept in an area that was subjected to the four seasons with high humidity issues you will get water condensing in the tank and will of course lay on top of the fuel and create a rust line at that point which of course you probably know can flake off and plug fuel filters which is irritating to say the least, bear in mind these particles are very small. My suggestion is drain the tank then take a very good flashlight and scan the fuel tank for corrosion evidence ie; dark spots on the inner tank wall.But if the tank is a plastic or composite material try your luck.
