I finally learned not to use brass tubing in fuel tanks-it corrodes and can leak. Switched over to copper. No more crud problems in tanks.

Here's some info I received from K&S :

"The brass Alloy is 260......for the soft brass it is the same just annealed to reach the soft state."

That settles it !
