Default Could a rusty fuel tank be causing bogging issues?

Hey Guys, Not sure how vague of a question this is. Bike bogs down (noticeably under hard acceleration in the low rev range) and eventually shuts off. What are the chances that the rust in the tank is causing this issue?

You're asking if rust in your tank could be blocking your fuel filter, pump and injectors?

I guess no more than dirt, or sand, or anything else that should not be in a gas tank...
