Without more info about what kind of trash and how much, it's hard to advise.
On our IH 684 (a saddle shaped tank behind the seat) had a fair bit of crud in it.. the sending unit is on the right (I removed it), filler on the left, so I had a transfer pump (which has a filter), and I used that to circulate the fuel from one side back to the other. That works really well for organic types of crud like pine needles, etc, but for heavier stuff maybe not so much (rust flakes, etc)
