Like Warren mentioned, i've seen similar when the lined "red-coat" tank material breaks down but you say it's not. You might drain the tank and have a peek down at the very back and bottom, where the petcock is. Or even pull the petcock and have a look-see. Someone could of in the past "tried" to of sealed or of removed a former coating and left behind crap at the bottom. Do you still have the pleated paper air filter or an over-oiled K&N? That certainly is a mess!
