Fuel injectors have a superfine screen on one end designed to mist the fuel. The screen blocks water molecules which can result in condensation on the rail side. After rust forms some of the particles of rust can break free and cause the injector to malfunction.

Will rust in fuel lines stop a car from starting?
Yes, it can block a filter or destroy an injector. Fuel lines should never have rust in them, since fuel is an oil based material that actually prevents rust. If you have rust in the fuel tank it's because condensate has been allowed to build up. You need to take care of the problem.

You can't, you would have to drill a hole in the tank, spray water in it and let it drain. You would probably have to get a new fuel tank.
Why does a car slow down sputter then backfire on acceleration?
This is a very broad question, but I will say this it is more than likely bad fire (spark) or bad fuel (not enough, too much, poor quality). Spark could be any thing from sparkplug all the way back up to the distributor or timing. Fuel could be water or rust in the fuel, clogged injector/injector's. probably NOT fuel pump or filter.
Why are pipelines kept free from dirt and rust?
Because - if dirt & rust are left untreated, they can build up over time - causing a blockage in the pipe.
What are some problems that you could be having with your dirt bike if it is not startingI ran it dry on accident and it will not start.What should i do?
Ran out of gas right? Dumb stuff first. The keys on? You haven't unplugged anything like the spark plug? OK, check the fuel lever. Is it in correct position? If OK, pull fuel line at carb and check for flow. No fuel getting to carb means no run. ie: plugged line from dirt/rust in tank. Worst case senario: dirt/rust from tank got into your carb bowl. Clean carb. Hope that helps.
How many fule filters are in a 92 Chevy pick up v6?
It has 1 up inside of the frame rail just behind the Left / Drivers side of the cab. You will need to slide in under the truck and look up in the frame to see it. It does have what we call a SOCK / filter inside of the fuel tank that's hooked to the bottom of the fuel pick-up tube on the fuel pump. But that filter never needs replaced unless there's dirt are rust in the tank.
