Gastank Surprise

I just installed a new SU HIF44, on an alloy manifold from SU Midel in 
Australia, on my 1275 Bugeye.  I couldn't get it to run well, it felt weak on 
acceleration, like a vacuum leak, or fuel starvation.

After trying new filters, with no change, I pulled the gastank.
Inside the tank, I found a rag, about 12"x18".  Maybe this was clogging the 
pickup?
While the tank is out, is there any way to change the filter on the fuel pickup?

In high schooI I thought 5 lbs of sugar was the ticket for screwing up 
somebody's gastank,  has anyone heard of this rag-trick before?
