Good question.
My theory is that if you put clean gas in the tank, shake it around, dump it out, and the gas is as clean as it was when it went in, you probably don't have any appricable amount of dirt or general crud in the tank.
If the gas comes out reddish brown, better flush it again.
Of course, before i'd put any nuts, bolts, screws, or rocks into my tank to use as an agitator, i'd wash them in gas or some other petroleum based solvent/cleaner.
