Holley four barrel carb exchanged for same list # NO!

I have very little knowledge about carburetors. I want to know how long as in trying to get gas to the carb would it take to damage a carb if the tank was dirty. would there be dirty on the sock filter and wouldn't the bottom of the tank look dirty how can a carb be damaged with in hours. any answers would be appreciated

    It depends do you have an inline filter as well?
    My 454 has a filter in tank as well as an inline filter and a filter at the carb.
    I would expect zero debris.
    If you just have a sock filter in the tank it may have a large mesh allowing smaller particles through. Is this a fact No! just a thought
