the problem with doing it like that is that the fuel lifter sits in one 
place only - the chances of getting all the muck out would be pretty low 
I would have thought.  If you take the lifter out of the top of the tank 
and disconnect the filler inlet you can wash out the debris with 
degreaser & water.  As long as you can get rid of the water & then rinse 
out with plenty of petrol it should be OK.  By the look of the inside of 
my own tank,  which has 14 years of sediment in it, even just draining 
and washing out with plenty of clean petrol, to get rid of the loose 
stuff, would be pretty good.
HTH.
