Could be - I found a lot of similar dust in a fuel filter in another type of car (VW Type 86) after a filler pipe was re-brazed on by a specialist company. I only have the tank gauze and fuel-pump mesh on my Type 3. I did replace a rusted fuel filler neck a year ago - that was very bad externally, but only a few actual specks on the inside of the neck. Anyway, what it's doing now is much more important, particularly as it is running well. Dave.
