Dirt in fuel tank

First, feel free to make snide comments at me expense. This dumb ass left gas cap on trailer after fill up and hit trails with a bit of mud and water. Don’t think I was deep enough to submerge fill tube but there was mud splatter all around outside of it. Didn’t realize until I put it on trailer, so it was running. I started to pull out tank to wash out. I still have a few steps left to get it out and have spent three hours so far finding and removing all bolts and fasteners. Should I be doing something rather than pulling tank to ensure I didn’t get dirt in or get out what might be in there?
