Saddle tank: useability question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have dual saddle tanks on my truck. Its a 1970 and was fairly well taken care of. The previous owner (the soninlaw) of the original owner who had died claimed that the truck had set since 2000 without much use. I am wanting to start using the saddle tanks instead of the tank behind the seat.

My question is: Should I do any type of tank check or flush before filling them up and using them. Or atleast fill them up and wait for anything inside the tanks to settle? I just assume that old tanks that havent seen much use and are bone dry probably have some crap inside of them.

Opinions anyone?
