Default Rust in fuel tank

I picked up this 86 fz750 that wasn't running, found the electrical problem and got it running. In the process, I found that the tank had rust in it. I flushed it out with good gas and am counting on the filter to pick up any more particles. Questions:
1. Is there any cheap fix for this condition that doesn't require getting a new tank?
2. Should I put a second in-line fuel filter on for awhile?
